- Conversion
As a Christian chaplain in the US Army (when I become one - I'm still a chaplain candidate), I can advocate my faith perspective as much as I want within a "voluntary" context. Meaning that if soldiers come to my chapel services, field services, Bible studies, and/or ask me questions - I can answer according to my faith. And, yes, invite them to accept Christ.
If, however, we're talking about a command function or some non-voluntary, compulsory context, then I'm asked NOT to "proselyte." I am in that case to be respectfully sensitive to the diversity of the military.
I have NO problem with those terms.
