In an interconnected and interdependent world in which human rights, political democracy, and particular religious loyalties matter profoundly, the role of armies is changing. Increasingly armies are called on to engage in peacekeeping and peacemaking missions. We may be witnessing an emerging worldwide movement to make external, reconciliatory ministry one of the chaplain's proper roles. Chaplains must understand the functions of faith and examine where they place their ultimate loyalty. At the same time, the military itself may be challenged to re-conceptualize its mission in terms of peacemaking
