Some time ago, I was the Chairman of a City's Chaplaincy organization. One thing that I really felt is that Chaplains have a high degree of integrity and are willing to listen. One Chaplain ended up sending his kids to our School. He was very open minded and willing to do things like that.

Have you found Chaplains over all to be very accepting and accepting of those who differ?

People who are chaplains are generally accepting of people with whom they differ. The reason for this is simple: People who do not want to work in a pluralistic context generally do not attemt to become chaplains in a pluralistic context.

However, this may be changing. I have not given up on all of my contacts from within the Army. I am being told that the Army chaplaiancy, and assumed other branches of military service, are seeing more people attempt to become chaplains who are unwilling to work within a pluralistic context. We may have to wait to see what the future brings in this aspect.
