There are issues with fundamentalist Christian proselytizing in the military in general, and it is organized, but not by the military itself.
There are groups who train young church members in missionary work before they go into the military, as we…
Thanks--well, they don't have to worry about my kid because we don't have any scriptures ;)
Thanks.
They don't hand them a bible. They offer a book of their choice and yes they have all of the majot faith based books of worhip. If they don't for some reason the Chaps will get one from a local church or the RDC's will have the family mail the book…
At one of my commands, a service member took it upon themselves to place "Chick" tracts (Christian comics and pretty ... um, strong) in the magazine rack in the lounge. The Chaplain removed them the moment he learned of them. The same sailor was in…
C-breez,
Unfortunately you're right, because there are so many religious denominations it would be impracticable for the Navy to accomodate all, but we will try. For instance, a couple of years ago a Sailor, who is Mormon, came asking if there were…
Hi, Fr. John,
Thanks for answering---I suspected that would be what would have to be done.
Chaplains are not the problem.
It appears to be the other service personnel.
My son is not yet in the Navy--it happened to other relatives.
I haven't checked…
My friends, I am a Navy Chaplain stationed at Norfolk Naval Station and I'm a Catholic Priest working at an indenominational chapel. My fellow ministers come from a wide variety of faith denominations, mostly Christians, but Judaism, Muslim, Buddhis…
Perhaps you would find it useful to talk to a Navy chaplain. When my son joined, I contacted a Navy Chaplain to discuss concerns---he was very helpful.
I'm sure the Navy does not force anyone to do anything religion-wise as an organization.
that would be a waste of time and effort.
I'm talking about some of the personnel, not the Navy as a whole.
Now I'm just curious how they handle Jewish, Islamic…
You know, I'm not sure. I don't know if they're required to take them or not, or if they're handed to everyone. I just know he came home with a camo bible. And they do have sunday services on his sub, for those that want to attend. And then the navy…
He would be okay with all of that ---if they don't follow him when he walks away.
But---why do they hand them a Bible?--isn't that a violation of the separation of church and state?
Do they hand out Korans and Bhagavad-Gita's too?
I asked an honest question and this is a forum in which one is encouraged to ask questions.
I did NOT express disdain for the navy, but concern for ONE of the activities that MAY be going on there.
Perhaps it was just the bunch my family members ser…
I can understand. They do hand them all a bible in boot camp, Chaplins are provided for them and they pray at multiple graduation ceremonies. My husband just ignores it. They do say they're open to all religions but I don't know that my husband has…
Bottom line is this- you will meet all types of people in the military and it is not "full of missionary Christians" whatever that means. You have people who are in or have family members serving who tell you that it's not as you've made it out to b…
