Current Chaplaincy arrangements are 282 chaplains of different denominations serving 181,000 members of the armed forces. There is approximately 1 Christian chaplain for every 650 Christian (nominal or participative). As can be seen below moves are underway to ensure chaplains are available from non-Christian faiths:

Army : Regular Chaplain - British Army Website

RAF : RAF Chaplains - Royal Air Force Chaplains Branch

Navy : http://http://www.rncom.mod.uk/Chapl...ncy_Index.aspx


RC Chaplaincy (been around since 1858) : Bishopric of the Forces / The Church in England and Wales / Catholic Church / Root - Catholic Church of England and Wales

Methodist Chaplaincy : The Methodist Church of Great Britain | Chaplaincy to the Armed Forces

There are also Baptist Chaplains.

Muslim RN Chaplain : News : Religion in the Navy : RN Life : Training and People : Royal Navy

Jewish Chaplain : Ministry of Defence | Defence News | People In Defence | First Jewish Civilian Chaplain to the Military
