It is issued on the authority of the Chief of the Land Staff, having been approved by the Chaplain General. 3. This publication is effective on receipt, and replaces the rescinded publication B-GL-312-015/PT-001 Combat Service Support, Volume 15, Chaplains in Battle. 4. Unless otherwise noted, masculine pronouns contained herein refer to both genders. 5. Published on the authority of the Chief of the Land Staff by the Army Publishing Office, Fort Frontenac, Kingston, Ontario. © Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada, as represented by the Minister of National Defence, 2005 © DND/MDN 2005 i The Chaplain’s Manual PREFACE 1. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the “freedom of conscience and religion” for every Canadian. Accordingly, CF regulations direct that, subject to operational and service exigencies, commanding officers shall make provision for spiritual service support and religious accommodation for the soldiers under their command. 2. Freedom of conscience and religion may be exercised by soldiers in a number of ways, including: a. accessing spiritual guidance, care and counsel; b. worshiping according to one’s faith; c. keeping holy days and religious observances; d. practicing religious dietary laws; e. receiving casualty care and treatment that is sensitive to one’s religious practice and belief; and f. honouring religious appearance and dress requirements. 3. A soldier’s freedom of conscience and religion is also exercised when he/she chooses to abstain, for the sake of conscience, from participation in religious services or ceremonies. Regulation prohibits requiring any soldier to participate in a religious service parade, unless it is in connection with Remembrance Day observances, a military funeral, or a ceremony of significant civic or memorial nature. ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES 4. Commanders and chaplains have distinct roles and responsibilities with respect to the provision of religious support to soldiers and their families. COMMANDER 5. Commanders, within their area of responsibility, are responsible for ensuring that soldiers and their families have the opportunity to exercise their freedom of religion and conscience. A commander therefore ensures the provision of and access to religious support services, from the garrison right through to the zone of iii B-GL-346-001/FP-001 combat. A commander is also responsible for making decisions on requests for religious accommodation in accordance with appropriate CF regulations. CHAPLAIN 6. The chaplain exercises a specialized ministry within the Army, aimed at promoting religious, spiritual, moral and ethical values, and providing spiritual care and nurture to military members and their families. The chaplain functions both as a specialist staff officer, and as a religious leader. CHAPLAIN AS STAFF OFFICER 7. As a staff officer the chaplain functions as a specialist advisor and has direct access to the commander. The chaplain is responsible to the commander for planning and implementing religious support programs and ministry activities within the commander’s area of responsibility. The chaplain advises the commander and other staff on matters of spirituality, ethics, morale, and religious accommodation. CHAPLAIN AS RELIGIOUS LEADER 8. As religious leaders chaplains are endorsed by their particular faith community and by the Interfaith Committee on Canadian Military Chaplaincy (ICCMC). Chaplains are mandated for this specialized ministry by the Chaplain General, and are responsible to the Chaplain General, to the Interfaith Committee, and to their particular faith community authorities through their chaplain supervisors and ecclesiastical superiors. MINISTER TO OUR OWN—CARE FOR ALL—FACILITATE WORSHIP OF OTHERS 9. The chaplain performs religious rites and ceremonies, and administers sacraments and ordinances, in accordance with the tradition and polity of their own endorsing faith tradition. In so far as is possible, the chaplain offers appropriate spiritual support and care to all soldiers and their families, regardless of their religious faith expression. If a chaplain is unable to personally provide specific religious support, the chaplain will seek to have such support provided iv The Chaplain’s Manual by another chaplain or, where possible, by appropriate civilian religious leaders. v The Chaplain’s Manual TABLE OF CONTENTS FOREWORD.................................................................................... i PREFACE......................................................................................... iii Roles and Responsibilities......................................................iii Commander ............................................................................iii Chaplain..................................................................................iv Chaplain as Staff Officer ........................................................iv Chaplain as Religious Leader .................................................iv Minister to our Own—Care for All—Facilitate Worship of Others ..................................................................iv CHAPTER 1 SPIRITUAL VALUES AND CANADA’S ARMY Canada’s Army........................................................................ 1 Core Principles ........................................................................ 1 Spirituality ............................................................................... 1 Spirituality and Army Culture ................................................. 2 Spiritual Values and Operational Effectiveness ...................... 3 Spiritual Values and the Chaplain ........................................... 4 Spirituality and Religious Practice .......................................... 4 Conclusion............................................................................... 5 CHAPTER 2 THE CHAPLAIN’S ROLE IN THE ARMY General .................................................................................... 7 Chaplain as Spiritual Leader.................................................... 7 Chaplain Confidentiality.......................................................... 8 Legal Liability Protection........................................................ 8 Duties and Responsibilities...................................................... 9 Dual Accountability................................................................. 9 Staff Function .......................................................................... 9 Chaplain Chain of Command ................................................ 11 vii B-GL-346-001/FP-001 Relationship with Interfaith Committee on Canadian Military Chaplaincy (ICCMC) .............................. 11 Relationship with Denomination/Faith Group....................... 11 Relationship with other Professionals ................................... 11 Relationship with the Chaplain Team.................................... 12 Relationship with the Unit..................................................... 12 Relationship with CO and Other Senior Officers .................. 13 Role of the Chaplain in Soldier Care..................................... 14 Chaplain Resources ............................................................... 15 Activities of a Chaplain......................................................... 15 Ethics Training ...................................................................... 16 Padre’s Hours ........................................................................ 16 Leave ..................................................................................... 16 Gender Inclusive Chaplaincy................................................. 17 Cultural Sensitivity................................................................ 17 ANNEX A ARMY COMMAND STRUCTURE WITHIN THE CF............................................................................ 19 ANNEX B SCALE OF ISSUE: PROTESTANT CHAPLAIN..... 21 ANNEX C SCALE OF ISSUE: ROMAN CATHOLIC CHAPLAIN ............................................................... 27 ANNEX D SUGGESTED CHAPLAIN KIT LIST........................ 29 ANNEX E SUGGESTED TASK LISTS SECTION 1 SUGGESTED TASK LIST UNIT CHAPLAIN .... 33 SECTION 2 SUGGESTED TASK LIST BRIGADE/BASE/ASG CHAPLAIN................... 37 SECTION 3 SUGGESTED TASK LIST AREA CHAPLAIN

  • Archbishop O'brien Named Head of Order of the Holy Sepulcher in Rome
    Archbishop O’Brien named head of Order of the Holy Sepulcher in Rome Pope Benedict XVI appointed Archbishop Edwin F. O’Brien of Baltimore as Pro- Grand Master of the Equestrian Order (Knights) of the Holy Sepulcher of Jerusalem, based in Rome. The appointment was announced simultaneously in Rome and in Washington, Aug. 29. “News of this appointment came as a shock to me and I am still adjusting to the reality that effective today I am no longer the Archbishop of Baltimore,” the archbishop said at an Aug. 29 news conference at the Catholic Center in Baltimore to discuss the appointment. “Until learning very recently of my appointment as grand master of the Holy Sepulcher, I was prepared and eager to serve out the remainder of my episcopacy as Archbishop of Baltimore, a title I have been honored to hold and a role in which I have been blessed to serve.” The order is a chivalric organization dedicated to promoting and defending Christianity in the Holy Land, supporting the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem and responding to the needs of Catholics in the region. Its origins date back to the First Crusade. He succeeds in the post American Cardinal John P. Foley, who resigned and retired in February as head of the international order for health reasons. Cardinal Foley returned to Philadelphia to live permanently earlier this year after having served in Vatican posts since 1984. Though he ceases to be archbishop of Baltimore effective with the appointment, the pope named him as apostolic administrator of the archdiocese until his successor is named.

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.

    Vol. 9 No. 2 • The Monthly Newsletter of St Paul’s Council 15001—Knights of Columbus August 1, 2021 The Assumption of Mary or the title “Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary” is, according to the beliefs of the Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodox Churches, Oriental Orthodoxy, Church of the East and some Lutheran and Anglo-Catholic Churches, among others, the bodily taking up of Mary, the mother of Jesus, into Heaven at the end of her earthly life. The analogous feast in the Eastern Churches is known as the Dormition of the Theotokos or "the Falling Asleep of the Mother of God". One should note that the New Testament contains no explicit narrative about the death or dormition, nor of the Assumption of Mary, but several scriptural passages have been theologically interpreted to describe the ultimate fate in this and the afterworld of the Mother of our Lord Jesus. 1 Vol. 9 No. 2 • The Monthly Newsletter of St Paul’s Council 15001—Knights of Columbus August 1, 2021 Council 15001 Are you a prophet?

Sage, B.A. (Waterloo University), B.A. (Cape Breton University), M.A. (Memorial University of Newfoundland) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Ellen Badone NUMBER OF PAGES: xii, 231 ii PhD Thesis – V. E. Sage McMaster University – Dept. of Anthropology Abstract I argue in this dissertation that aestheticizing urban landscapes represents an effort to create humane public environments in disenfranchised inner-city spaces, and turns these environments into culturally valued sites of pilgrimage. Specifically, I focus on James Street North, a neighbourhood undergoing artistic renewal in the post-industrial city of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Based on two years of ethnographic fieldwork in the arts scene on James Street North, my thesis claims that artistic activities serve as an ordinary, everyday material response to the perceived and real challenges of poverty, crime and decay in downtown Hamilton. Aesthetic elaboration is a generative and tangible expression by arts stakeholders of their intangible hopes, desires, and dreams for the city.
