Greetings ,
I assume that there are chaplains in the US Military who are clergy of some of the same faiths commonly associated with the fundamentalist terrorist groups and other assorted "bad guys" in current perception. That must make for some unique challenges and experiances, not only for clergy but also devout practitioners. Anyone out there have any first hand experiance with this, or aware of any good books written on the subject?
In a similiar vein, I recall reading that Wicca is a recognized religion in the US military. Are there any Wiccan chaplians or, if not, is there a reason there couldn't be? I'm not familliar with the process of selection/training.
Thanks,
