Excerpt from The Chaplain, Vol. 20: April, 1963
Every significant chaplaincy contributes to the climate in which it functions, but it, in turn, is influenced by powerful forces and traditions at work in the military and in society at large. The gen eral history of religion and the role of the military in a given society have strong bearing on chaplaincy arrangements. They often de termine the detailed answer to questions regarding chaplains' uni form or garb, rank, pay, equipment, authority, training, duties, and supervision. This is equally true for the United States where such factors as religious pluralism and great sensitivity to church-state relationships must be considered if the chaplaincy is to be accepted and effective.
Our purpose in making these studies available is to attempt an understanding of the rationale, philosophy and tradition reflected in each effort to provide this kind of ministry. The detailed arrange ments are both interesting and significant. In doing this we also hope to provide a background against which to see our own United States chaplaincy programs in clearer perspective.
