Carpe Diem Posted October 6, 2012 Author Share Posted October 6, 2012 Does that mean 30.5 % have no faith? IE atheist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carpe Diem Posted October 6, 2012 Author Share Posted October 6, 2012 One reason why chaplains are paid is the government's requirements to become one: - Ninety hours of graduate education is required, after a four year degree, including clinical education courses - Ordination which is often a ten year process of careful evaluation of ones skills and character - Ecclesiastical endorsement through a recognized religious group in Canada. By the way, a graduate theological education costs about hundred thousand dollars; it is not subsidized by any taxpayers money. Most Christian M.Div programs facilitate a spirit of ecumenicalism in their practice of pastoral care. So people of other faith groups will still be taken care of or some facilitation may take place.

Heretic Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 why would you make that conclusion? it just means 30.5% is "none of the above" - could be Hindus, could be Mormons, could be scientologists, could be agnostics, could worship greek gods, could be atheists, or could have just not wanted to tell the survey.
