Abstract

This project attempts to demonstrate that military clergy suffer from the effects of sexual addiction at a rate equal to or greater than their civilian counterparts through a survey and interviews with active duty chaplains. The study also investigates the opinions and resources offered by Christian ministry leaders working in the field of sexual addiction. The outcomes show, in a random sampling of volunteer chaplains, over 40 percent demonstrated strong signs of sexually addictive behavior. Interview results affirm that although resources exist to provide preventative education and treatment for sexual addiction, many barriers exist to confronting the issue. Denial in the church is not the least of these. Ironically, the church holds the keys to healing and healthy sexuality. This study calls for awareness and healing in and from the pulpits of military chapels and churches in order to effect healing in the church.
