Many people don't stop to consider that when a service member is overseas with/without their family, the only place where worship services in English are offered is at the installation chapel.

There are , of course, exceptions when there is a large American community adjacent to the installation, but for the most part when I was stationed overseas, the base chapel was the place for worship.

As a Christian...I would find it offensive if my Chaplain was restricted from praying in the name of the one that our faith is named after and follows.

That's right, from now on you'll just be an 'ian'. :)
