“alleged that the LDS Church was “un-Christian” and thus unfit for the chaplaincy.”
I never thought about this while in the service. How did/do you hard line Christian veterans handle having LDS chaplains?
The United States Military Academy welcomes you to the Chapels at West Point.
Many thousands of visitors each year enjoy walking through the historic and inspiring edifices where divine worship is held at the Academy.
Probably about the same way as hardline Mormon veterans handle Christian chaplains.
Matthew 18:20; "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."
This passage says it all.
While I was in the military I accepted the chaplin’s service(s) equally and really on though about those guys with white shirts, black ties, riding around on bikes for two years in the summer.... If I were discriminate it would have been been for a non-christian such as the Stantic and Muslims, or a Buddhist - but those were speciality services taken with a grain of Salt. So were a Mormon or LDS be non-christian, you or I would have taken it with a grain of Salt - don’t look back or you’ll be a statue!
