2.2e Worship Services, Non Denominational, Secular Meetings

The US Constitution guarantees your right to worship or not to worship. The AF policy is clear; there is Zero Tolerance for discrimination based on religious preference or beliefs. You may participate in the service of your choice; however, you will not be coerced to attend any service.

If you choose not to participate in services, there will be no repercussions. You may attend one service and one religious education class/nondenominational/secular meeting each week.

In addition, you may attend religious observances like Passover or Ash Wednesday, but you will not be able to attend daily services (e.g., daily mass or prayer calls). You may also participate as a chapel guide, choir member or instrumentalist, if your training schedule permits. See the chapel schedule posted in the dormitory for the most current times and locations.

During your first weekend, senior student leaders or escorts will march you to the service of your choice. If you wish to attend any services, coordinate it with your MTI. When you attend services, do not visit other areas. You will march directly to the service and directly back to your dormitory after the service is over.
