Download or read book Religious Ministry Lay Leader NTRP 1 05 1 written by Department of the Navy and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-11-18 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 1 July 1952, Admiral Arthur W. Radford, commander-in-chief, U.S. Pacific Fleet, issued “A Guide for Religious Worship and Character Development in a U.S. Ship Without a Chaplain,” the first official guidance published for religious lay leaders. Prepared by the Pacific Fleet Chaplain George A. Russo's office, the document was only three pages long. It noted that commanding officers on ships without chaplains could select a volunteer to lead worship. For Protestants, the service had to be “commensurate with good taste and the spiritual needs of all worshippers.” Since the days of World War II, men and women of the sea services have willingly filled the gap for their faith groups as lay leaders when chaplains were not available to meet the needs of their fellow shipmates. At the close of that war, there were only a dozen or so faith groups officially represented in the military. Today, the Armed Forces Chaplains Board officially recognizes over 200 faith groups. Religious lay leaders play a vital role within the structure and ministry of the command religious program, as they assist the chaplain and religious program specialists in meeting the religious rights of sea-service personnel. Navy Tactical Reference Publication (NTRP) 1-05.1 will assist commanders, chaplains, and lay leaders as they provide for the constitutional free exercise of religion for sea-service personnel. Recognizing that religious identity is an integral part of the members of the armed services, Congress has established that the religious requirements of service members are to be accommodated by the respective services. The Department of the Navy (DON) tasks commanding officers (COs) with the establishment of a command religious program (CRP), which accommodates the religious needs, preferences, and rights of the members of their commands, eligible family members, and other authorized personnel. Per Joint Publication (JP) 1-02, “Department of Defense Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms,” religious support “consists of the entire spectrum of professional duties that a chaplain provides and performs in the dual role of religious leader and staff officer assisted by enlisted support personnel.” Navy chaplains manage and execute the CRP on behalf of the CO. Chaplains are authorized to provide for the religious ministry support (RMS) of members of their own faith. Per Title 10 and U.S. Navy regulations, chaplains may only provide public worship according to the manner and forms of their own religious organizations (ROs). However, chaplains are also responsible for facilitating the religious requirements of all authorized users through the management and execution of the CRP. Navy policy provides several options for facilitation. Chaplains provide faith-specific religious ministry to members of the chaplain's own faith group. Contract religious ministry professionals (CRMPs) may also be retained by the CRP to meet faith-specific needs. If a chaplain cannot meet the religious requirements of an authorized user and a CRMP is not available or practicable, the command may then appoint lay leaders to meet religious requirements.

Download or read book Lay Ministry written by William Rademacher and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2002-07-15 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author has achieved his goal of providing spiritual and pastoral support for lay ministry by covering a wide spectrum of interests: historical information, spiritual growth, personal reflection, and career choices." - Lay Ministry Newsletter of the National Association for Lay MinistryLay Ministry unmasks the notion for the average Catholic that the consistancy of the tradition is also unquestionably clear. Rademacher routes us from Moses to Paul, from Ignatious to Gregory VII to John Paul II, tracing both the theology and practices that underlie contemporary ministry in the church. The trail is one that few Catholics have ever had the chance to walk, and the end point is far different from the one to which we have become accustomed. Rademacher makes points that must be understood and discussed at every level of the church if the church is to remain vibrant in our own times. The limiting definition of the seven sacraments, the restriction on lay participation in the church, the loss of the spiritual meaning of ministry, the clericalization of the church, the effects of sexism on sacrementality, and an inadequate understanding of the nature of the Christian call are all stones across the door of the tomb that block the resurrection of the church to the fullness of life. Rademacher faces them all, forthrightly and courageously. What's more he makes us face them too. Do I recommend it? I would assign it." - Joan Chittister, O.S.B.

Download or read book Religious Requirements and Practices written by U. S. Department of the Army and published by The Minerva Group, Inc.. This book was released on 2001-10 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prepared by the Office of the Chief of Chaplains, United States Army, this handbook provides a useful guide to the beliefs and practices of a number of religious groups. It provides a useful reference, both for professionals such as airport and hospital chaplains, and for lay readers interested in a basic guide to religious groups not readily covered in other references. A specific purpose of the handbook was also to limit the amount of information provided on each group. Thus, while the information is accurate (in most instances approved by authorities from the individual groups themselves), it is by no means comprehensive. The material presented in the handbook was derived through an extensive research effort. The handbook includes 37 different group descriptions, divided into seven categories. The categories are: Christian Heritage Groups Japanese Heritage Groups Jewish Groups Indian Heritage Groups Islamic Groups Sikh Groups Other Groups Among the uniform topics covered for each group are: historical roots, origins in the U.S., number of adherents in the U.S., organizational structure, leadership and role of priesthood, who may conduct worship services, is group worship required, dietary laws or restrictions, special religious holidays, funeral and burial requirements, autopsy, cremation, medical treatment, is a priest required at the time of death, basic teachings or beliefs, and ethical practices.
