“…A growing body of literature is following Bender et al's (2013) call to study religion outside of congregations and thus focuses on the negotiation of the role of religion in public organizations. Many of these studies, be they on prisons (Beckford and Gilliat 1998;Becci 2011;Jahn 2015;Martínez-Ariño et al 2015; Harms-Dalibon 2017; de Galembert 2020), on the military (Bertossi and Wihtol de Wenden 2007;Hansen 2012;Bertossi 2014;Michalowski 2015), on hospitals (Bertossi and Prud'homme 2011;Cadge 2013;Bernardo 2018) or on the police (Thériault 2009;Gauthier 2011;Lillevik 2019) contain a reflection on the negotiation of secularity and religious pluralism in a specific organizational context. They show that there are important differences in the accommodation of religious pluralism not only across national but also across organizational contexts.…”

The renegotiation of secularity for Muslims has reached sports facilities such as swimming pools, where the human body is central and an element of crosscultural contestation. The present study identifies factors that could explain intra-organizational variations in religious accommodation. Data from a survey of geo-located swimming pools in Germany (n = 339) shows that conflict among users becomes more likely if the variation in body practices, the share of right-wing populist votes and the population of immigrant background increases. On the organizational level, we find that 75 per cent of the pools in our sample allow the burqini while only 10 per cent provide separate swimming hours for women. Higher shares of right-wing populist (and to a lesser extent of conservative) votes in the organization's environment correlate with a higher likelihood of burqini bans. Our findings suggest that the relationship between organizational change and citizens' attitudes is loose at best.

“…There is a growing but still small body of literature that focuses on strategies pursued by public institutions other than the military regarding religious pluralism (Khosrokhavar 2004;Beckford, Joly, and Khosrokhavar 2005;Thériault 2009;Becci 2011;Gauthier 2011;Stoeckl and Roy forthcoming 2014 (Hansen 2012, 165-201). In the 1990s Martin Bock produced an international comparison of military chaplaincy that is largely descriptive and focuses on structural components of military chaplaincy such as its financing and the management within the military structure (Bock 1992(Bock , 1994(Bock , 1998 The study by Bertossi and Wihtol de Wenden (2007) is exceptional in the sense that it was initially ordered by the French Ministry of Defence and then published in an academic context against the wishes of the Ministry.…”

“…The literature on the accommodation of religious pluralism in the field of military chaplaincy is very scarce. There is a growing but still small body of literature that focuses on strategies pursued by public institutions other than the military regarding religious pluralism (Khosrokhavar 2004, Beckford, Joly et al 2005, Thériault 2009, Becci 2011, Gauthier 2011, Stoeckl and Roy forthcoming 2015). Many of these studies focus on prisons and they find that prisons are often willing to accommodate religion since religion is deemed to be functional for the re-socialization of prisoners.…”

What is at Stake in Military Chaplaincy When Muslims Join the Ranks? An International Comparison

This paper analyzes the 'strategic action field' (Fligstein and McAdam 2013) evolving in five European countries (and the U.S.) around the inclusion of Muslims into military chaplaincy. The paper shows that cross-national institutional differences in particular with regard to the state-religion relationship have an influence on the accommodation of Muslims in military chaplaincy: countries with a strong focus on equality in their state-religion relationship are more advanced in setting up a Muslim military chaplaincy, whereas countries whose state-religion relationship explicitly allows for the differential treatment of religious groups lag behind, in particular if Muslims are among the groups for whom official cooperation with the state is impossible since they have not acquired the requested legal status. At the same time, the paper shows that organization-specific arguments that push for religious accommodation and equal treatment in the military lead to a convergence of practices across the different European countries. Similar things are 'at stake' in the strategic action field that evolves around the inclusion of Muslims into military chaplaincy: the distribution of scarce chaplaincy positions, training and education of chaplains, security and control of religion, attracting new recruits and assuring social cohesion as well as being in line with principles of equality and religious liberty. France stands out in this comparison because it reached a high level of Muslim accommodation in military chaplaincy that stands in stark contrast with the limited accommodation of religion reached in public schools. All European countries in the study differ fundamentally from the U.S. where the distribution of chaplaincy positions is organized along a relatively easy market-based system that does not depend on the European institutionalization of faith-specific military chaplaincies.
