Description: "This project explores tensions experienced by Unitarian Universalist military and police chaplains--being ideally suited for the work and coming face-to-face with less than positive individual and congregational attitudes toward thse institutions. Through interviews with the chaplains and an on-line survey of attitudes, these tensions are explored. Unitarian Universalists are challenged to acknowledge their concerns regarding police and military chaplains and congregations are challenged to widen their embrace of the 'other' who wears a uniform to serve. It further highlights recent changes in Unitarian Universalist Asociation policies and practices for endorsement and support of military chaplains"--P. vii.
