Can a Christian Chaplain Serve in the US Military?
The Reverend (Dr.) Al Mohler recently asked a question heretofore unknown: Can Evangelical Chaplains Serve God and Country?
Mohler addresses the repeal of DADT, as well as the recent clarifications to the Southern Baptist Convention’s policies regarding their military chaplains.
He also notes the irony that some advocates for homosexuals proclaimed the repeal of DADT would be a non-event, even for chaplains. Some of those same advocates are now saying SBC chaplains, and those who hold similar theological beliefs, should resign. So much for the “non-event.”
The entire nation now faces this crisis. Is America ready to demand that military chaplains choose between serving God and serving their country? We will soon know the answer to that question.
