Evangelism in the Air Force
Evangelism in the Air Force
Posted : Tuesday Jan 8, 2008 20:05:04 EST

The Air Force, more than any other service, has endured a contentious debate over when and where evangelism is appropriate.

Have evangelistic leaders ever made you uncomfortable or, in your opinion, denied your promotion or desired assignment for religious reasons?

Do you feel political correctness has impeded airmen's right to share their beliefs?

We'd like to hear varied opinions on the issue. Please send us your thoughts by clicking here, and be sure to include your name, rank and base. Your comments may be used in a future issue of Air Force Times.

1. this is such a strange turn in the U.S.A.F.
I left active duty in '72 - but remained in reserves until '90 or so. I never did see any movement in this direction during that period.

So it is a relatively new movement - within the past 15 years or so.

2. I retired from AD in 83. If it were around, I didn't see it.
Very strange and unsettling indeed.
