Military chaplains from Nigeria, other West African countries meet
Military chaplains and religious affairs personnel from Nigeria and nine other African countries gathered in Accra, Ghana, last week for the first West Africa Religious Affairs Symposium (WARAS), US Chaplain Kevin Forrester, who is the Command Chaplain at US Africa Command, confirmed last week.
Mr Forrester, a colonel, who was joined by Herinah Asaah, said the symposium also highlighted religious freedom within the military and the need for understanding the religious dimensions of service in West Africa’s armed forces.
The meeting brought together Christian chaplains and Muslim religious affairs personnel from across the region to discuss how military religious leaders support troops facing stress, trauma, moral injury and the pressures of operations in volatile security environments.
