Chaplaincy

The military says chaplains can opt for ’the practice of recent years,' which includes the recitation of a preamble before leading a prayer.

Bp. Scott McCaig says there exists ‘significant concern’ that the prayer ban could also undermine morale and spiritual resiliency for ‘scores’ of CAF members.

Conservatives are asking a parliamentary committee to study an Armed Forces’ directive ordering military chaplains to abstain from leading public prayer.

Three CAF chaplains say a ‘woke mentality’ has taken over the military, which is purging traditional values and making their role lose its meaning.

The Canadian military’s Chaplain General recently issued a directive to replace prayers with ‘spiritual reflections’ during official ceremonies.
