Friends of ArmyChaplaincy.com, thank you for reading. I am overwhelmed by your encouraging words, visits to the site, and the kind correspondence you send expressing support or asking for information. Despite the recent loss of virtually all of the reader comments that were posted on the site–a great source of personal frustration and embarrassment–ArmyChaplaincy.com is moving ahead to expand the resources we provide.
Here are a few things you can expect to see this year.
News
The news excerpts frequently posted on the site will be decreasing in volume. Primarily, only links to articles about the history of the chaplaincy or faith in the military will be posted. Instead of the individual links to news items, we’ll publish a weekly compendium of news items with my own summaries of news. You still get the same news, but it will be in a more convenient and informative format.
Commentary
Not only will I be contributing more commentary on chaplaincy-related and Army-related matters, but we’ll feature columns by both special guest contributors as well as material from regular contributors.
Photos, videos, and other media
In order to assist chaplains with the practical aspects of military ministry, we’ll be adding more photos, videos, slides, and other media resources. The goal will be to provide both instructional and informative materials that can be used by chaplains and chaplain assistants in planning and executing religious support.
Free stuff
Each month, we’ll offer a free book to those who subscribe to our email list. There’ll also be other giveaways for readers of the website. Keep your eyes open for free books, CDs, and other great stuff.
Chaplain goodies
Speaking of stuff, there are things in the works to offer neat chaplain goodies soon. I won’t spoil the surprise, but there’ll be clothing, books, and some other special things available. Everything offered will be in good taste, created while keeping in mind practical considerations of the military lifestyle, and designed to be useful. No shiny, useless trinkets here.
How can we help you?
There are even more things ahead, but I’ll save some details for later.
If you have a suggestion about how ArmyChaplaincy.com can be more helpful, leave a comment below. I want to hear from you. If you’re engaged in military ministry, what sort of information can we publish that will help you minister? If you’re a civilian trying to learn more about faith in the military, what questions do you have that we should address?
