What does religious freedom mean in a total institution? How can military chaplains, each committed to their own unique faith, work in a religiously pluralistic institution? How can there be taxpayer-funded clergy in a nation that formally separates church and state? In this book, Kim Philip Hansen uses the chaplains' own words to describe their successes and failures, friendships and conflicts, their routine work, and their scandals. Suffused with tension, wit and grace, their stories are about a group of men and women trying to put some of America's noblest ideals into practice under difficult circumstances. INDICE: Military Chaplains and Religious Diversity.Studying Diversity in the Military.Freedom of Religion in a Total Institution.Islam and Wicca in the Military.The Chaplains' Experience with Diversity: Cooperation Without Compromise.Right-wing Protestants and their Discontents.Lessons Learned and Hope for the Future.
