The LDS church is offering an M.Div. for military chaplains.

So if some eager BYU undergrads start entering this program and paying the LDS church for an M.Div. . . . how much longer until the LDS church returns the obligation with a paid position in full-time ministry?

Well, the Church already has a paid ministry. We just don't advertise it.

Wow... This is a stunning development. I wonder how the Mopologists will explain this one away?

From what I can tell it is a Master of Arts degree and not a Master of Divinity degree.
ETA and it is only open to people who are candidates for military chaplaincy, so I doubt this is going to be some kind of large and busy program.

Young soldiers will be comforted by knowing about planet availability with an eternal family before going into the battlefield.
