Safe Place in a War Zone

Rev. Chris Antal, a Unitarian Universalist minister in the town of
Rock Tavern, New York, was drawn to service in response to the
attacks of 9/11. He entered military chaplaincy partially as a way
to help soldiers who are prone to harming themselves in the wake of
war. He also wanted to bring a “liberal voice into a very
conservative chaplaincy,” consistent with the commitment of his
tradition of acceptance for people representing different faiths
and sexual orientation backgrounds.
