FOR GOD AND COUNTRY

Military chaplains face new challenges and growing expectations as they operate in multi-faith contexts abroad. The policies governing the military chaplaincy, and the effectiveness with which the chaplains carry out these policies, are increasingly relevant to the readiness, strategic thinking, and on-the-ground performance of military forces. As such, it is perhaps not surprising that in recent years there have been calls for military chaplains to expand their role as inter-religious liaisons and as advisors to commanders on religious affairs.
