Latter-day Saints Omitted from Military Faith List
Description
The Pentagon sparked fury by excluding the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from its list of recognized Christian denominations for military chaplains, prompting outrage from Utah lawmakers—including Senator Mike Lee, a member of the church, who called the move offensive. Amid backlash, the Pentagon reversed course, removing “Christian” from all denominations on the list, insisting its role is to respect sincerely held faiths—not settle theological disputes.
