Theology and the Disciplines of the Foreign Service

Theology

“At the height of the Vietnam War exceptional demands were placed on the joint embassy/USAID economic staff to control what could easily have become runaway inflation, leading to general destabilization. Not only did the staff have to work seven days a week and long hours each day but their skill and competence were tested to the utmost under difficult conditions. I worked closely with Ted Lewis and recall vividly his top-notch skills and service to his country. He describes these years well. Moreover, his description of the 'craft' of the Foreign Service is accurate and perceptive.”
