本文讨论了在穆斯林占多数的国家发生的冲突中北约军事牧师面临的挑战，重点是英国和美国在阿富汗的经验。虽然两军对牧师与当地居民的关系有着截然不同的正式指导方针，但有人认为，牧师与当地宗教行为者的关系在许多方面都面临着类似的挑战。最近对阿富汗牧师指导方针的修改反映了人们认识到他们有潜力为面临宗教“边境”的士兵充当翻译，而他们没有能力应对。然而，牧师在宗教基础上与当地人接触并非没有争议。考虑到这一点，本文重点讨论了军队牧师的象征性地位，无论是在军队内部还是在与当地人的接触中。虽然在这种情况下，基督教牧师的象征意义并非没有问题，但有人认为，牧师最终可能有助于士兵和平民之间的差异和共性的导航。然而，目前军事牧师没有得到足够的培训，无法与他们在阿富汗、伊拉克或其他地方遇到的穆斯林宗教人口打交道。文章最后总结了未来部署在穆斯林占多数的国家的牧师的作用和培训的可能发展。
This article addresses the challenges presented to NATO military chaplains in conflicts waged in majority-Muslim countries, focusing on the British and US experience in Afghanistan. Though the two militaries have quite different formal guidelines for chaplains about relations with local populations, it is argued here that the challenges for chaplains relating with local religious actors are in many respects similar. Recent changes to chaplaincy guidelines in Afghanistan have reflected a recognition of their potential to act as interpreters for soldiers facing a religious ‘frontier’ with which they are ill-equipped to grapple. However, chaplain engagement with locals on a religious basis is not uncontroversial. With this in mind, this article focuses on the symbolic status of the military chaplain, both within the military and in encounters with locals. Though the symbolism of a Christian chaplain in this context is not unproblematic, it is argued that ultimately chaplains could contribute to the navigation of differences and commonalities between soldiers and civilians. However, at present military chaplains are inadequately trained to deal with the religious Muslim populations they encounter in Afghanistan, Iraq or elsewhere. The contribution closes with conclusions about likely developments in the roles and training of chaplains deployed in Muslim-majority countries in the future.
