A Muslim Chaplain in the Military
By Virginia Prescott on Tuesday, March 31, 2009.
This week we’re looking at the changing face of faith in America, and turn now to Second Lieutenant Rafael Lantigua. Lt. Lantigua serves in the Nebraska National Guard, and he’s in line to become the first Muslim chaplain in the National Guard’s 372-year history. His story is characteristically American: half African-American, half Dominican-American. He was raised in Columbia, South Carolina by a Baptist mother and Catholic father. His day job now includes recruiting Pakistani-Americans and Sudanese refugees to the Nebraska National Guard. At night he studies Islamic theology and Islamic-Christian relations. He joins us now to talk about his work and his faith. Omaha World-Herald: "Spiritual quest to break new ground" (Photo courtesy Martin Wells) About usWord of Mouth is all about what's new.
