My most recent professional accomplishment was my doctorate in 2005 in the area of chaplaincy ministries. My hobbies have been any kind of sports but I am concentrating now on marathons and triathlons. I look forward to serving the Police Department and the community of Monroe. |
 Mecklem, Duane - Police Chaplain. I was born and raised inrural western Pennsylvania. I attended Cincinnati Christian University, where I graduated in 1971, and where I also received a Master of Arts degree in 1987 and a Master of Ministry degree in 1988. For 37 years I have ministered in Churches of Christ and Christian Churches in central and southern Ohio. Since 2003 I have ministered here in Monroe at the LifeWay Christian Church, 780 Lebanon Street. I have served as a volunteer chaplain for the Smith Township Fire Department in Centerville, Ohio (1978-79), for Madison County Hospital in London, Ohio (1982-85), and for Middletown Hospital/Atrium Medical Center (2007-present). Having once been an EMT, I am aware of the pressures that “first responders” sometimes experience and the long-term effects of that stress. I simply want to be there for our policemen and policewomen, to assist them and the public in difficult situations when calm and counsel may be needed. Personal message: The Bible tells us that law enforcement officials who do their job well are doing the Lord’s work (see Romans 13:1-6). Let us respect them and appreciate them for how they improve our community. |
