| 520 | |a This article examines the nature of Christian faith as inherently paradoxical, exploring its connection with ambiguity when operating as a military chaplain. Drawing on personal accounts from an operational setting as a British Army chaplain, it focuses on the internal experience of ambiguity whilst managing the effects of locatedness. It recognises and accepts the spectrum of ambiguity as inherent in life, faith and military chaplaincy, contending that ambiguity is not constructed but present, requiring honest and careful reflection. It argues that ambiguity can be intensified in demanding chaplaincy contexts, asserting its value as a pastoral resource when confronted with multiple possible responses. This requires careful understanding of ambiguity and the paradoxical nature inherent within doctrinal truths, suggesting that ambiguity is neither the first response nor the last word but a pastoral enabler, having a place within any fresh plausibility structure for chaplaincy and ministerial training. | ||
