CORRESPONDENCE/DIRECTIVES PUBLICATIONS Religious   Program   Specialists   are   often tasked   with   typing   and   proofreading   cor- respondence and directives prepared in the office of the chaplain. It should be emphasized that the religious  program  is  a  “command”  responsibil- ity.  Therefore,  correspondence/directives  involv- ing the Navy and/or Marine Corps in an official 4-10 way  is  considered  to  be  official  correspondence. Official correspondence is normally prepared for the  signature  of  the  commanding  officer. “By  direction”  signature  authority  is  generally granted  in  writing  to  the  command  chaplain  by the  commanding  officer  concerning  routine official correspondence relating to the CRP. Such correspondence  officially  comes  from  the  com- manding officer. This means that recipients will usually  handle  the  correspondence  as  if  it  were written by the commanding officer. A chaplain’s signature  “By  direction”  is  not  followed  by  his or her rank or office since the chaplain is signing the  correspondence  for  the  commanding  officer. Before proceeding to a discussion on various correspondence/directives   publications,   it   is important to note that chaplains often originate both  pastoral  and  professional  correspondence. Pastoral correspondence relates to the chaplain’s pastoral   relationship   with   personnel   of   the command,  dependents,  or  civilians.  It  is  similar to oral communication that takes place between ministers,   priests, and   rabbis   and   their parishioners.  Such  correspondence  is  addressed frequently  to  naval  personnel,  families,  civilian clergy,   church   officials,   and   community   social agencies.  A  business  letter  format  is  used  and  the chaplain’s own name is used as the signature for this type of correspondence. Since the chaplain’s pastoral role rather than officer role is involved, the  signature  may  be  followed  by  the  identi- fication,   “Chaplain,  U.S.  Navy,”  rather  than official   rank   and   Chaplain   Corps   designation (CHC). Professional   correspondence   is   between chaplains relating to professional matters within the  Chaplain  Corps.  A  business  letter  format  is used and the chaplain’s own name is used as the signature for this type of correspondence. Official matters   relating   to   the   command   are   not handled  through  professional  correspondence. NOTE:  Many  Department  of  the  Navy  letters, memoranda, directives, and publications contain references  to  members  of  one  gender  when  the correspondence or directive is applicable to both male and female. To ensure equal recognition of women  in  the  Department  of  the  Navy,  it  is necessary that originators of correspondence and directives avoid sex bias in selecting terminology for  identification  of  personnel.  The  RP  plays  a
