Description:Army chaplains have long played an integral part in America’s armed forces. In additionto conducting chapel activities on military installations and providing moral and spiritualsupport on the battlefield, they conduct memorial services for fallen soldiers, ministerto survivors, offer counsel on everything from troubled marriages to military bureaucracy,and serve as families’ points of contact for wounded or deceased soldiers—all whilerisking the dangers of combat alongside their troops. In this thoughtful study, Anne C.Loveland examines the role of the army chaplain since World War II, revealing how thecorps has evolved in the wake of cultural and religious upheaval in American society andmomentous changes in U.S. strategic relations, warfare, and weaponry.From 1945 to the present, Loveland shows, army chaplains faced several crises thatreshaped their roles over time. She chronicles the chaplains’ initiation of the CharacterGuidance program as a remedy for the soaring rate of venereal disease among soldiers inoccupied Europe and Japan after World War II, as well as chaplains’ response to the challengeof increasing secularism and religious pluralism during the “culture wars” of theVietnam Era.“Religious accommodation,” evangelism and proselytizing, public prayer,and “spiritual fitness”provoked heated controversy among chaplains as well as civilians inthe ensuing decades. Then, early in the twenty-first century, chaplains themselves experiencedtwo crisis situations: one the result of the Vietnam-era antichaplain critique, theother a consequence of increasing religious pluralism, secularization, and sectarianismwithin the Chaplain Corps, as well as in the army and the civilian religious community.By focusing on army chaplains’ evolving, sometimes conflict-ridden relations withmilitary leaders and soldiers on the one hand and the civilian religious community on theother, Loveland reveals how religious trends over the past six decades have impacted thecorps and, in turn, helped shape American military culture.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
