Do I have to be a Christian?

Your website seems to be aimed at Christians. My question about becoming a chaplain is because I am of a different faith.

Do I have to be a Christian to be a Chaplain? Can I have a different faith?

The answer is that chaplains come from many faith backgrounds. The purpose of chaplaincy is not to convert people to a specific faith.

A chaplain's role is to support those they serve, whatever their spirituality.
