I am very pleased to announce the launch of the Military Chaplaincy Review, formerly known as the U.S. Army Chaplain Corps Journal. The Army Chaplain Corps published Military Chaplains’ Review from 1972 to 1992 with joint participation. Drawing inspiration from that history, the new Military Chaplaincy Review represents a deepening of our commitment to stewarding the professional conversation on the theory and practice of military chaplaincy across America’s military services and around the world. As the world’s largest contingent of military chaplains and religious support teammates, the U.S. Army Chaplain Corps has the privilege of hosting a conversation that is by nature joint, multinational, and in dialogue with civilian academia. No other publication is like the Military Chaplaincy Review. The Review’s name change commits us to a future of broader conversation, even as the publication remains a home for the professional conversation around Army chaplaincy, in particular.
The Review has also modernized its web platform. In alignment with the Chief of Staff of the Army’s Harding Project, the Review is now publishing “web first, mobile friendly, and supported by social media.” This modernization will make the Review’s content more accessible than ever to Army, joint, global, and scholarly audiences. I encourage you to use that accessibility to share the Review’s content widely to extend the conversation online and in person. I also encourage you to enrich the Review’s content with your own contributions.
In closing, I want to express my gratitude for the fine work of this issue’s contributors. Without our contributors, there is no Review. You are helping carry the conversation forward to support and enhance the sacred work of military chaplaincies around the world, in this 250th year of sacred service by our U.S. Army Chaplain Corps.
For God and Country - Live the Call!
Chaplain (Major General) William (Bill) Green, Jr.
