Abstract

The Reserve/Guard chaplains compose 61 percent of the total U.S. Army Chaplain force. While not all Reserve/Guard chaplains pastor congregations, those who do are subject to special tensions. The reserve chaplain faces both philosophical and functional role expectations that come from a variety of sources: the military, the civilian congregation served by the chaplain, the chaplain's endorsing agency, and the ever-present realization that if mobilized he or she would have to leave his/her civilian congregation to be with and minister to Reserve soldiers. A research questionnaire was developed by the author to identify tensions resulting from the dual role ministry. The conclusion was that identifiable tensions do exist and can be minimized with certain deliberate actions.
