Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the Supreme Court ruling on Goldman V. Secretary of Defense in 1984, much attention has been given to the accommodation of religious practices within the military. This study considers various ways which the Army both does, and does not accommodate the religious practices of its soldiers. It looks at the requirements which will be found in a mobilization supported by conscription environment in light of religious accommodation. It also portrays the legal basis for granting conscientious objector status as historically an accommodation of religious practices. One of the resources used for this study is a survey of senior Army Chaplains and former battalion commanders. The latter were all students in the U.S. Army War College Class of 1989. The areas of accommodation this study examines are: ritual/worship; dress and appearance; diet; medical; and conscientious objection. This volume includes an examination of the law and its application in accommodating religious practices of soldiers. Conclusions are drawn and several recommendations are made. Volume II contains two appendices.

Download or read book Enlisting Faith written by Ronit Y. Stahl and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2017-11-06 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A century ago, as the United States prepared to enter World War I, the military chaplaincy included only mainline Protestants and Catholics. Today it counts Jews, Mormons, Muslims, Christian Scientists, Buddhists, Seventh-day Adventists, Hindus, and evangelicals among its ranks. Enlisting Faith traces the uneven processes through which the military struggled with, encouraged, and regulated religious pluralism over the twentieth century. Moving from the battlefields of Europe to the jungles of Vietnam and between the forests of Civilian Conservation Corps camps and meetings in government offices, Ronit Y. Stahl reveals how the military borrowed from and battled religion. Just as the state relied on religion to sanction war and sanctify death, so too did religious groups seek recognition as American faiths. At times the state used religion to advance imperial goals. But religious citizens pushed back, challenging the state to uphold constitutional promises and moral standards. Despite the constitutional separation of church and state, the federal government authorized and managed religion in the military. The chaplaincy demonstrates how state leaders scrambled to handle the nation’s deep religious, racial, and political complexities. While officials debated which clergy could serve, what insignia they would wear, and what religions appeared on dog tags, chaplains led worship for a range of faiths, navigated questions of conscience, struggled with discrimination, and confronted untimely death. Enlisting Faith is a vivid portrayal of religious encounters, state regulation, and the trials of faith—in God and country—experienced by the millions of Americans who fought in and with the armed forces.
Download or read book An Introduction to the Sociology of Religion written by Inger Furseth and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-09-05 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are religion and nonreligion? How do fundamentalism and religious radicalization emerge and grow? How do social class, gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, and other factors affect religious beliefs, practices, and organizations? Is religion a fundamental driving force or do political leaders use religion for their own purposes? In exploring these pertinent questions, An Introduction to the Sociology of Religion provides an overview of sociological theories of contemporary religious life. Theoretical discussion is accompanied by presentations of empirical research from several religious traditions in many parts of the world. The sociology of religion is linked closely to developments in general sociology. Some chapters are organized according to topic, while others offer brief presentations of classical and contemporary sociologists from Karl Marx to Patricia Hill Collins and their perspectives on social life, including on religion. This second edition has been thoroughly updated throughout with new chapters on religion and social inequalities, social and religious movements, and extremism. Covering classical sociology of religion as well as contemporary debates and topics, this book is ideal reading for students approaching the sociology of religion for the first time.
Download or read book Change and Conflict in the U S Army Chaplain Corps Since 1945 written by Anne Loveland and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 2014-03-30 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Army chaplains have long played an integral part in America’s armed forces. In addition to conducting chapel activities on military installations and providing moral and spiritual support on the battlefield, they conduct memorial services for fallen soldiers, minister to survivors, offer counsel on everything from troubled marriages to military bureaucracy, and serve as families’ points of contact for wounded or deceased soldiers—all while risking 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 the corps has evolved in the wake of cultural and religious upheaval in American society and momentous changes in U.S. strategic relations, warfare, and weaponry. From 1945 to the present, Loveland shows, army chaplains faced several crises that reshaped their roles over time. She chronicles the chaplains’ initiation of the Character Guidance program as a remedy for the soaring rate of venereal disease among soldiers in occupied Europe and Japan after World War II, as well as chaplains’ response to the challenge of increasing secularism and religious pluralism during the “culture wars” of the Vietnam Era.“Religious accommodation,” evangelism and proselytizing, public prayer, and “spiritual fitness”provoked heated controversy among chaplains as well as civilians in the ensuing decades. Then, early in the twenty-first century, chaplains themselves experienced two crisis situations: one the result of the Vietnam-era antichaplain critique, the other a consequence of increasing religious pluralism, secularization, and sectarianism within the Chaplain Corps, as well as in the army and the civilian religious community. By focusing on army chaplains’ evolving, sometimes conflict-ridden relations with military leaders and soldiers on the one hand and the civilian religious community on the other, Loveland reveals how religious trends over the past six decades have impacted the corps and, in turn, helped shape American military culture.
Download or read book Military Culture and Non Western Religions Conflict and Accommodation written by Lawrence J Conway (III.) and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis is an analysis of the impact, conflict and accommodation between the culture of the United States Army and several non-western religious movements which are gaining wider acceptance in the military ranks. Such movements cannot be treated dismissively in today's Army. Just as multiculturalism is becoming reality in civil society, the Eastern religions are permeating the Army. This report should be of aid to those who know too little of these movements as well as a warning where possible conflicts may arise. It will also become evident that these faiths, such as Buddhism, Islam, and others are not themselves monolithic, but contain within themselves contradictions, conflicts and compromise. It is hoped that the shedding of light in this way will make the Path smoother, less rocky and minimize conflict between these religions and the institutional culture of the Army.
