The most recent comprehensive study of American Jews, in the middle of the last decade, showed that interfaith marriages among American Jews was around 50%, up from about 6% in the early 1950's. Judiaism is not, by any stretch of the imgaination, homogenous. In the US, there are four main branches. Worth noting is that the branch that is growing the fastest, the Orthodox/Ultra Orthodox and their many sub-groups, is the most rigid in its prohibitions on inter-faith, and even inter-branch marriage. As for racial diversity, there are many Jews who are of African descent, as well as a very large Latino/South American Jewish population and even Asian Jews.<br /><br />That being said, would I like my boys to marry within the faith or wed someone who will convert? Sure. But it's no game-stopper; I just want them to be happy, no matter who they wed.Andynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704146.post-91753030213440927262011-06-09T21:55:36.701-04:002011-06-09T21:55:36.701-04:00Was the exorcism on the training schedule?

The Jewish Chaplains are overwhelmingly Orthodox, while the Jewish troops are not. The Chaplains from the Roman Cathilic Church are well below the % of troops identifying with that tradition. Among non-RC Christian Chaplains, those identifying as Evangelical are a significantly higher % than the troops identifying as that tradition. Liberty University established an on-line program to credential Chaplains about 7 years ago and today they have an incredibly high % of the Chaplain Corps (the also established their own endorsing agent - Liberty Baptist Fellowship for Church Planting, which may say something about how they see their calling). A lot of the Mainline Protestant denominations are against the military (and hopefully sin, too), so we have no one to blame but ourselves that others have filled that void. <br /><br />Chaplains, of course, are suppose to serve all of their troops, or find someone else who can - Protestant chaplains, for example, can't conduct a Catholic mass. <br /><br />There is certainly need for diversity, but I suspect this is about bean-counting and one-drop rules.
