Can you share how the Air Force is with chaplains being out with their people on a regular basis? I don't want to sit in an office or a chapel and wait for people who need help to come to me.

I have so many questions. My first being, as far as I am informed you need some type certification from a church (seminary) school to become a Chaplain. I am a Roman Catholic, so I heard to become a Army Chaplain for Catholicism you must be an ordained Priest. But as in 1 Corinthians 7:2 I am almost certain I could not live a life without marriage. I am aware that Protestant Priest can marry. Even though I am a Roman Catholic, may I become a Army Chaplain as a Protestant Priest.
@ServiceBeforeSelf 4 жыл бұрын
Most of the time you have to have the same theology as the endorsement you represent. I believe there are denominations that are close to Catholicism that you could look into. You are correct, unfortunately if you would like to be a Catholic chaplain you must become a Priest first. I am not familiar with being a protestant priest but that may be a great option for you!

Great Video and awesome topic with direction to know if one is called to be a Chaplain. How does it differ in being a women Chaplain than your male chaplains? Also, How do you feel as a Christian Women being in a leadership role in a “Mega Church”? Do you try to counsel more women specifically or anyone who comes in your door? Do you Counsel Men alone, How do you react if they become fresh with you? Do you end the conversation, what do you do to change the topic?
@ServiceBeforeSelf 5 жыл бұрын
Maybe I could make a video to answer all fo the questions! As the military continues on, more and more women are in leadership and commanding roles. I think the stigma of men not being comfortable with women is beginning to reduce. I have found in my own experience that if a man doesn't want to be around a female chaplain, they will just not. But that is extremely rare. To answer your other questions, I first trust that Christ has equipped me. Knowing there may be trials and difficulties along the way, like a gender issue.

Hi Amelia, I’m anticipating my appointment to be a chaplain candidate (I just received my endorsement... yay). How would you say aspects of working within a pluralistic religious environment factor into requirements asked of chaplains, and into the characteristics necessary for success in military chaplaincy? How has this been in your experience so far? Are you able to pray in Jesus’ name? These have been some concerns I’ve contemplated based on my current level of research and limited conversations with senior chaplains.
@ServiceBeforeSelf 6 жыл бұрын
Whitney, that so great you have an endorsement. I do not find working in that environment as stressful or bothersome as it was made out to be. Any kind of prayer in a larger setting you want to be a little more cautious. In a smaller setting like a retirement ceremony by the permission of the individual, praying in Jesus' name is allowed. AF does look heavily at if you can work well with others from other religions. Your chapel team wont be all from your same faith but you still need to be able to work well with them all. You don't have to agree to have a successful team. I find it helpful to stick with the goal of caring for the Airmen. If I invest my time in that, then I am less concerned about everything else.

To be a chaplain, you must have a religious endorsing body. The DoD on their website has a list of these endorsements. If your faith is represented in a current endorsement then there is acceptance into the military.

Sandra, I think it is really cool that you are open to researching about chaplaincy. I really hope that you are able to have some questions answered that way. There are many different religions within chaplaincy but at the heart of it, a chaplain has a spiritual foundation. I would encourage you to explore that spiritual foundation for yourself. I can only speak from mine, Christianity, so in my life I would search to Christ for clarity. I hope that can help some.

Currently there are no Atheist Chaplains... but you never know what the future holds. So a chaplain's job no matter their religion, is to preform or provide. That means that even if I cannot preform a service because it is not my faith, then I will find somebody that can (provide). That way all military members are able to practice their religious beliefs.
