Jerry Autry

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.

What was the name of Capt. Autry's assistant? I was stationed at Emery (69th ADCOM) 1970-'71. I was a dope smoking drunk, lost and on my way to Hell. But in 1978 I meet the Lord and I gave my life to Him. I remember while I was stationed at Emery the Chaplin's assistant help me many times but I did not like him and what he stood for at the time. I just want to thank him for loving me even thou I hated him and his God...I just want to apologize now, and thank him, for being Christ like to me at that time.

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)
