Spiritual Fitness: An Imperative for the Army Chaplaincy

Abstract

At the foundation of the Chaplain Corps' effectiveness in providing quality religious support has been the spirituality of its chaplains. Given the greatly expanded roles and missions of the Army Chaplaincy during the past twenty five years, individual chaplains are faltering in their efforts to maintain personal spiritual health. The challenges and uncertainties of ministry in the 21st century will demand a Chaplaincy that is spiritually fit. Chaplains must deliberately make personal spiritual health and fitness a priority.
