Chaplain Impressions Group?

[Texas Priest]

Is there an ecumenical group of Chaplain reenactors? I think it would be brilliant to be able to pool our resources for our impressions and ministries to the community.

All the chaplains I know are members of regular reenacting groups or doing their own thing. Are you proposing having say a national group/club just for chaplains? Not a bad idea I suppose. You'd have to probably hit the social media and try to connect with fellow chaplains.

Do a search for the Christian Commission.

There are several who represent those and among them are actual ministers.

In the past we had a former USAF chaplain among the membership. I've met a catholic priest who wore the smock of a Jesuit in real life and as a reenactor. Though that was a LONG time ago.

I'm a Roman Catholic priest "in real life," and participate in living history events, as I am able. I'll be serving as a Union chaplain impression at an upcoming event.
