Taken from Foreword:
Chaplaincy is a unique vocation--it is a call within a calling. Distinctive as it is, balancing one's call from "God" with one's call to serve our nation is a distinction that is shaped more clearly by understanding the multi-dimensional shape of military chaplaincy.
Vignettes - Perspectives - Clues - Insights - Guidance - "If I had to do it all over again" reflections are shared in this collage of collegial concepts. Thus, VOICES OF CHAPLAINCY is a unique compendium of counsel from decades of chaplain leadership. Our grateful thanks to all who have shared their wisdom. It is MCA's contribution to your calling - "CHAPLAIN."
