WELCOMING REMARKS BY THE CHAPLAIN GENERAL OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN NATIONAL DEFENCE FORCE


Brig Gen (Rev) Marius Cornelissen

It is a great pleasure to invite, on behalf of General G.N. Ngwenya, Chief of the South African National Defence Force, all the Military Chaplain General(s) / Military Chief Chaplain(s) / Military Representative(s) of Religion of all the countries in the world to a first ever world conference.

This conference emanates from the International Military Chief of Chaplains Conference, which started in 1990 and had its 19th conference in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2008.

We look forward with excitement to this conference and cannot wait to also share this conference with Military Chaplains Services that were never part of this before.

The theme of the conference, “The Role of the Chaplain in Reconciliation and Healing in Post-Conflict Reconstruction”, is especially timely. The Republic of South Africa has much to offer in the way of understanding how to move beyond bitter conflict to reconciliation and justice.

We trust that this conference will be really enriching for all the Military Chaplains Services, and therefore for all the Defence Forces in the world.

Chaplain's Greetings,

Brig Gen (Rev) Marius Cornelissen
