Abstract
ABSTRACT This article explores the complexity of contemporary Christian chaplaincy within the British Army, where Christian (with other faiths and representatives of secular philosophies) serve an ostensibly secular institution. and sometimes conflicted context, especially focused on the concept of ‘being with’, central to the thought of the scholar and priest Samuel Wells. Outlining the history of Chaplaincy within the British Army, showing how the Department has changed to serve a changing Army, it then outlines some of the contemporary challenges. Looking at how the role is worked out within the contemporary British Army, there remains an important incarnational role for the Chaplain to ‘be with’ the Army and it’s people.
