提倡军队中的宗教多元化和跨信仰领导

美国.S. 军队制定保障军人宗教信仰权利的政策. 然而,宗教少数群体的平等待遇问题仍然令人担忧, 由于军队中有一个长期存在的宗教制度体系. 一方面,这一制度确保了只有合格的牧师才能成为军队牧师. On the other hand, 这项政策限制了牧师队伍中可以代表的宗教的范围, 这让军方对不同宗教的需求有了更好的理解. The military is gradually evolving with regard to such concerns.  它甚至开始允许修改制服以适应宗教要求, 例如, a 锡克教 wearing a turban as part of his uniform. The photo is of Dr. 麦格劳在全国军部会议上倡导更加宗教多样化的军事政策.

Insights for a better understanding of the individual (Protestantism; Hinduism), the importance of valuing affective relationships (Confucianism), the justice of fair economic distribution (Islam), and the sacredness and interconnectedness of all of Nature, including human beings (Hinduism), 例如, could reorient current assumptions underlying policy prescriptions. 考虑到这些见解可能有助于制定更能满足个人需要的全球经济政策, 家庭, 社区, 社会, 而不是当前全球经济机构所支持的意识形态.
