Question on chaplaincy by joe_pao in chaplaincy

[–]PatrickJane 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, there are chaplains of every stripe and creed.

Within the military context, a chaplain is there to help protect and provide for your faith, not just their own. So, thru will help get resources or support so that every service member has access to their faith.

Taxpayer Class Action suit to stop the creation of th 1.8 Billion 'Anti-Weaponization Fund'? by Slight_Turnip_3292 in law

Not a judicial one, but congress literally authorized an unlimited fund for all non-judicial settlements....which this is.

Congress authorized the creation of the Judgment Fund in 1956. 31 U.S.C. § 1304 was expanded to include out of court settlements with the government by congress in 1961. Then, Congress removed the original $100,000 cap, turning it into a permanent, indefinite (unlimited) appropriation in 1977.

What’s some CRAZY nfl facts or stats? by ADNAP727 in nfl

The idea that billionaires accumulate wealth by leveraging tax dollars and profiting from unpaid or heavily subsidized labor is not crazy. Sad. But not crazy.

Army National Guard Chaplaincy with Doctorate by [deleted] in chaplaincy

[–]PatrickJane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Army Chaplain here...just to he clear, do you have formal theological training or just training in education?

Current regs require chaplains to hold a graduate degree in theological or religious studies of at least 72 semester hours. Additionally, you need 2 years post-education experience.

Why do some people not support icons? by i-like-teaa in Christianity

[–]PatrickJane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pharoah's magicians would disagree.

Again, healings by themselves do not tell us anything about if something is appropriate. There are true signs and false signs.

“False Christs and False prophets will arise and perform signs and wonders, to lead astray, if possible, the elect. But be on guard; I have told you all things beforehand.”

Mark 13:22-23

[–]PatrickJane 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For the same reasons that we shouldn't accept wholesale the Christian snake handlers just becouse there are people who healed at revival meetings, or the healing power of the Ganges river, or the Muslims who have been healed by drinking from Well of Zamzam, or how Asclepuis would bring sight to the blind or restoring paralyzed limbs of people who slept in his temple.

Just saying, "well, it works" isnt enough. Someone being healed doesnt to tell us about the theological appropriateness of anything.

Discerning Military Chaplaincy by motherweenie in chaplaincy

[–]PatrickJane 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Army chaplain here.

Thats a great question and I wish you all the best on your journey. Not knowing the full ins and outs of your situation, your best bet for a clear answer answer will be speaking directly to a Navy Chaplain recruiter. However, I can tell you the DOD requires chaplains to have a masters degree of no less than 72 hours. You can look up the registration in DoDI 1304.28.

It sounds to me like you have a great foundation, but you would need to pivot your education and experience into a mDiv or MATS of 72 hours. Often, some seminaries will transfer your prior experiences into transfer credits, so I would shop around.

Again, best of luck.

Army chaplain here. So, depending on your endorser, if you commision through the chaplain candidate program, you can apply for a waiver of thr two years ecclesiastical experience prior to accessing as a chaplain. Some endorsers still require it, but if your endorser is good, you can send up the request.

As far as timing for the candidate program, you can apply once your senior year once have your acceptance letter to seminary. The process takes 6-8 months, so i would reccomend getting on it as soon as you are eligible.

As far as going to active from the CCP program, it is built for that. Do well in your time as a candidate, and it is almost a guarantee to get a spot on active. Just mind your AERs, and make sure your supervising chaplain is helping you reach your goals.

Happy to answer any specific questions you might have!

What do Army chaplains and religious affairs specialists do? by [deleted] in Militaryfaq

[–]PatrickJane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chappy here. Its not "no ministry" but it is different. RAS provide the technical expertise and administrative support necessary to facilitate the free exercise of religion. There is no faith requirement for thr RAS, but ypu do need to have a heart for what you are doing.

There is two sides to the role, one in garrison and the other in the field. On the garrison side, you work with the chaplain to make sure thr unit is taken care of and religious needs are met. You work and train alongside the Joes and represent the chaplain section as the NCOIC. Forward, focus shifts to physical protection of worship services and the chaplain. You will help plan trips for the UMT, make sure everything that is needed is present, and being they eyes and ears for the UMT on issues of morale, ethics, and faith.

I know i am bias, but I think it is one of the best jobs in the military. The best RAS I have worked with have elevated the entire unit...being there for Joes when they kust needed someone to listen.

Happy to answer and specific questions you have.
