Re-engaging the Home Front: A Strategy for Evangelical Church Alliance-Endorsed Navy Chaplains Transitioning to Civilian Ministry Using a Video-Based Reflective Guide
2022
Overview
The United States Navy has a comprehensive education and training program that prepares civilian clergypersons for transition into becoming Navy Chaplains. However, there is currently a void when the Navy Chaplain is preparing for the inevitable season in which they return to the civilian ministry context. This dissertation comes alongside the separating Chaplain and provides a framework and transitional paradigm to improve their pathway to post-Navy ministry success. This project addresses how Navy Chaplaincy and Sea Service subcultures shape pastoral identity and how that reality impacts civilian transition. The demanding nature of military service increases the probability of burnout, and this must be mitigated to maximize transition success. A holistic, research-formulated transition model was developed in this dissertation. This intervention is critical as Navy Chaplains navigate how to transition their military ministry skills to a setting that they have not been actively serving in full-time. The video-based, independent-study Transitional Reflective Guide introduced separating Chaplains to a guide that clarified where they have been in ministry, where they are presently, and where they are going after transitioning out of the military. The results of this research concluded that the Transitional Reflective Guide needed to address the practical and emotional elements of the transition process. Second, being aware of the internal and external changes experienced during the transition process was critical to one's success. Finally, institutional ministry skills inform but do not define pastoral identity. This project affirmed that a fully formed religious identity and a structured transitional model were needed to maximize the Navy Chaplain's transition pathway and provided tools to facilitate that outcome.
