Resized ImageThere are over 5000 Wiccans serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. However, there are currently NO Wiccan Chaplains. This is a petition to get Wiccan chaplains accepted. Other religions with small numbers are allowed chaplains.

Among the nearly 2,900 clergy on active duty are 41 Mormon chaplains for 17,513 Mormons in uniform, 22 rabbis for 4,038 Jews, 11 imams for 3,386 Muslims, six teachers for 636 Christian Scientists, and one Buddhist chaplain for 4,546 Buddhists.

In 2007, when a pentecostal chaplain turned Wiccan he applied to change his religious affiliation to Wicca, and the Army railroaded him out of Iraq and out of the Army. This is unacceptable.

Sign this petition and tell the the Army Chief of Chaplains office and other government officials that Wiccans deserve chaplains and should be afforded the same rights as other religions.

Please spread this petition far and wide.
