THE  CHASUBLE.—The  chasuble  is  a  large  sleeveless outer  garment  (see  figure  3-60).  Its  appearance  can  best  be described as a long rectangular decorative cloth with a hole in the center to allow it to be slipped over the chaplain’s head, Figure 3-60.–The chasuble. The word “chasuble” means a “little house.” NON-JUDEO AND NON-CHRISTIAN RELIGIOUS REQUIREMENTS In  addition  to  the  faith  groups  which  are  represented  by  military chaplains, commanders at all levels have a responsibility to persons of other faith  groups  in  their  command  whose  religious  requirements  and  practices differ from those which have been presented here. Command chaplains assist commanders in this area by making provisions for the ministries appropriate to the rights and needs of all personnel assigned to their commands. Religious Requirements for Non-Judeo and Non-Christian Faith Groups The  determination  of  the  religious  services,  rites,  and  activities  which may be required by naval personnel and their dependents who are adherents to  non-Judeo  and  non-Christian  faith  groups  is  made,  not  by  the  Navy,  but by  the  faith  groups  to  which  these  persons  adhere.  The  command  chaplain will make arrangements to the extent possible for adherents of these groups to practice their faith. These arrangements may include the use of command facilities  and  auxiliary  or  contract  chaplains  as  well  as  facilities  and  clergy within  the  civilian  community. Support Functions of the RP in Regard to Non-Judeo and Non-Christian Faith Groups As a Religious Program Specialist, you provide support and assistance to persons  and  clergy  of  all  faiths  within  the  Department  of  the  Navy.  Pro- viding support and assistance to non-Judeo and non-Christian faith groups is indicative of the religious pluralism and freedom within our society and will require you to carry out the following actions when directed by the chaplain: Gather  information  required  by  the  command  chaplain  to  adequately support  the  religious  requirements  and  practices  of  all  persons  assigned  to the  command. 3-69
