SCRIPT:
On October 10-11, the Interfaith Forum of Military Chaplains “United in Service” was held in Kyiv.
The event brought together more than 400 participants. Among them were military chaplains, religious leaders, ministry leaders from fellow countries, and volunteer chaplains who shared their activities.
Any military chaplain who visits the military primarily intends to support them where they are. That is, we cannot distinguish between military personnel on the basis of their religion. This happens at the second stage of pastoral care, when military personnel want to pray with a priest or pastor of their doctrine, or in our case, a rabbi. That’s why chaplains usually travel in small groups so that servicemen can choose a representative of their particular religious denomination.”
For two days, the forum participants discussed the main aspects and directions of the chaplaincy ministry.
A chaplain should be an active member of their congregation or church. They shouldn’t be on their own out there, but they must come to services, attend prayers, and be involved in other ministries in their congregations. Therefore, it’s really important because we need to find strength from somewhere, and only the Lord can give us strength.”
The event also featured a photo exhibition entitled, “History of the War 2014-2024” dedicated to the development of the chaplaincy from the beginning of the Revolution of Dignity in 2014 to the present day.
