| Jerry Autry was the battalon chaplain at Emery Barracks. He was the enabler of a group of GIs to found the Agape Coffee House. He gave us this wonderful place to meet. We all affectionately remember Jerry as being "always for the troops" - always there for "us GI's." We could go to him with any problem. I remember, Jerry would sweep into the snackbar on Sunday mornings trying to round up us lost sheep, shouting, "AIRBORNE!!!" and "Okay guys, why you all sitting around here doing nothin' ... get on up there to chapel!" - Dan Brake, Firstmate of the Coffee House Gang |

| Agape is a Greek word translated in the New Testament of the Bible as "love" or "charity." Agape is ranked by Christian moral theologians with faith and hope as a basic virtue, and Saint Paul called it the greatest of the virtues. The name agape was given, also, to an early Christian love feast, an evening communal meal held in connection with the Lord's Supper. Its origin is found in the chaburah, a fellowship meal of late Judaism. If, as is probable, the chaburah was observed by Jesus and his disciples, its adoption by the young Christian church was entirely natural. At the agape, food brought by the people was solemnly blessed in advance of the repast. The Eucharist (consecration of bread and wine) either preceded or followed the agape. About the beginning of the 2nd century the Eucharist was detached from the communal meal and transferred to the early morning. The agape lingered in some Christian communities until the 3rd century.

Many of you may think that this isn't too spiritual, but I have a web site you might be interested in if you are an old school "Superman" fan. I have a site entitled, "Glass House Presents." The url link is http://www.glasshousepresents.com
It is a site of "Friendship And Camaraderie" and the only site in the world to host the "George Reeves Hall of Fame." Its easy to navigate and you will find some of the world's finest writer's and contributor's on the life and legacy of George Reeves. What once was a hobby has now turned into one of the finest pages on George (Superman) Reeves in the world. No, we don't worship George, but his life's contribution to cinema and TV is still felt world wide. Take a cruise over there when you get a chance. God Bless, Carl

Well, the "youngest member" will be 34 in July! I have grown up hearing many wonderful stories from my parents (Daniel & Linda) about the Agape Coffe House. It is a rich heritage knowing that I come from those who were/are so devoted to Jesus. I may never have met any of you (except for Carl Glass and Barnabas), or at least I was too young to remember, but you all have in some way helped to shape my walk with Christ. Thanks and blessings to you all.
-Stacee Thornton (Brake)

Greetings to all my friends from the former Agape Coffee House in Emery Barracks in Wuerzburg. I was leading the youthcenter in Mariannhill Mission across from the American Army Hospital in Wuerzburg. We had meetings together with German Jesus People in the Upper Room of the Mariannhill Mission Wuerzburg. Our song was: He is Lord!!! Jesus Christ is Lord!!!
Yours Brother in Christ Jesus Barnabas called John Barnabas (Pater Barnabas Stephan CMM)

This was the place where I met Dan Brake in October/November of 1973. My name is Carl Glass and I was with 3rd S&T Battalion 3rd Infantry Division. Many great memories for me. The best of all was meeting Jesus. Lot's of boldness for Jesus with little wisdom in the Word. I left Emery Barracks in January of 1974. With only two weeks left to go, my father died of internal injuries in California, so it would have been ludicrous for me to return to Wuerzburg. The coffee house were some of the best days of my life.
