History of Chaplaincy
The U.S. Army Chaplain Corps is one of the oldest and smallest branches of the Army. The Chaplain Corps dates back to 29 July 1775, when the Continental Congress authorized one chaplain for each regiment of the Continental Army, with pay equaling that of a captain. In addition to chaplains serving in Continental regiments, many militia regiments counted chaplains among their ranks. There are different denominational chaplains. Four are very popular, They represent major faith groups: Catholic, Protestant, Jewish and Muslim. The globally recognized highest rank of military chaplain is Major-General. Regardless of the rank, the proper title for any chaplain is "Chaplain". Not captain, major, colonel, or general. The issue of ranks and insignia had blind-folded many and taken them out from God’s path to perdition.
Chaplain, originally a priest or minister who had charge of a chapel, now an ordained member of the clergy who is assigned to a special ministry. In the recent times, Chaplains go to places where an average minister of God is afraid to go to preach Christ and administer packages in the name of the Gospel. Places like correctional centres, hospitals, motor parks, marketplaces, offices have been visited by Chaplains. Other names for Chaplain are: priest, pastor, clergy, minister, padre, cleric, rabbi, preacher, etc.
