Site Overview

Welcome to the Army’s Chaplain Support Center

The purpose of this website is to provide you a variety of ways to better define and strengthen your personal values.  This site complements the Comprehensive Soldier Fitness (CSF) website by providing the chaplain resources applicable to what CSF calls “Spiritual Fitness.”  Resources are provided here that include monotheistic, polytheistic, pantheistic, and nontheistic resources.

This site is not intended to promote any particular religious preference or to promote theistic over nontheistic perspectives.  This is also not an instruction course on world religions or a hub for religious conversion.  Chaplains help service members in a variety of ways, but selecting a core belief system is an individual effort and chaplains are careful not to show bias.

To avoid bias, the listed resources are limited to current chaplain endorsing agencies and general internet references on Beliefnet, About, and eHow.com.  For religions and philosophies not represented in the chaplaincy, current lay leader endorsers and prospective endorsers may be referenced.  For additional information, like youth groups, study groups, or faith-based counseling, contact your local chaplain or the endorsing agencies.

The overarching goal is quickly connect individuals with spiritual or naturalistic personal values they already have.  Soldiers, families, and civilians are invited to review the links above to connect with their theistic or nontheistic beliefs as well as non-sectarian support and general interest items.

Future Spiritual Fitness Site Preview

The Army’s Installation Management Command Chaplains have posted a “Virtual Spiritual Fitness Center.”  This chaplains office has oversight over chaplain operations on Army Installations and has posted this site apparently as a sally into the web space.  In February of this year, MAAF contacted them with a long list of concerns and suggestions.

The IMCOM Chaplain and his staff have said that their contractor hasn’t had time to make changes.  This is no response at all for two reasons.  First, changing a website is easy.  That’s what this corrected site is intended to provide.  Second, policy changes are made by leaders and not webmasters.  Webmasters do technical support, not content.  MAAF has patiently waited for months for responsiveness, but it is clear the chaplain are entirely supportive of the pro-Christian, anti-non-Christian idea of their chaplain services.

Hopefully this simple example of what right looks like will provide a good example of how easy it is to make changes and how far away the IMCOM Chaplain stands from properly carrying out his duties.
