Introduction to World Faiths is a series of courses offered at The Armed Forces’ Chaplaincy Centre (AFCC) that explores Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Sikhism.
Increasing demands for more impactful religious inclusion from government, workplaces and society require greater religious literacy and an understanding of why faith is important: especially in an organisation like the military where almost 80% of personnel self-declare a faith on their documentation. Yet, secular assumptions still prevail, that religion is private and many organisations find faith a difficult social aspect to address.
