Navy Tactics Techniques And Procedures NTTP 1.05.1m MCRP 6-12b Religious Lay Leader May 2016 Per Secretary of the Navy instruction (SECNAVINST) 1730.7 (series), commanders shall provide a command religious program (CRP) which accommodates the religious needs, preferences, and rights of the members of their command, eligible family members, and other authorized personnel. Per SECNAVINST 1730.8 (series), chaplains are the Navy's only trained professional religious accommodators. Because of command religious diversity or lack of access to a Navy chaplain, a commander may appoint a lay leader to provide specific religious services for a specified time. U.S. Navy Regulations, 1990, article 0817, identifies lay-led services as an appropriate means of meeting religious needs in the absence of chaplains and civilian clergy. Article 0820 of the same publication notes that commanding officers (COs) shall provide the necessary logistical support for CRPs. SECNAVINST 1730.7 (series) establishes lay leaders as part of the religious ministry team (RMT) under the supervision of a chaplain. Naval Military Personnel Manual (MILPERSMAN) 1730-010 describes lay leaders as members of the CRP who support a temporary accommodation of specific religious requirements in operational settings when assigned chaplains are not able to provide for specific religious needs within the command. The Marine Corps Manual (MARCORMAN) states that COs may appoint lay leaders to conduct religious services and supplement the ministry of chaplains. SECNAVINST 1730.9 (series) limits the lay leader with respect to confidentiality, and SECNAVINST 7010.6 (series) governs the lay leader's role with respect to religious offering funds. OPNAVINST 1640.8 (series) establishes lay leader responsibilities for brigs afloat. OPNAVINST 1730.1 (series) and Marine Corps Order (MCO) 1730.6 (series) specify that uniformed service members may be appointed as lay leaders by the CO to support CRPs in operational environments.
