Description:
<jats:p> Historically, Canadian Forces Chaplains have demonstrated impressive adaptability in their attempts to remain relevant to the personnel they serve. However, their efforts do not always come without struggle. The struggles they now face are the result of modern forces such as secularization, religious pluralism, the loss of moral consensus, as well as the privatization of religion. As a result, chaplains who serve in the Canadian Forces must be increasingly open to a diversity of religious beliefs among military personnel. This article examines some of the challenges that face the predominantly Christian chaplains as they attempt to meet the spiritual needs of all military personnel regardless of their religious beliefs. </jats:p>
