I was a chaplain for a few years in long term care. I really loved the work and the people and I was very sad when I got too sick to do the job anymore. Maybe one day I will be able to walk again enough to get around and minister to the people in long term care.
I know many women who are chaplains. They love God and people and they have usually trained for a long while to do the work they are doing. They are very much called by God.

Here is what I know. Throughout the bible I have seen prophetesses I have seen women being used by God to do great and amazing things in both the nt and the ot but I admit I have never seen them in high authority like many men in the bible where.
But I also have this to say, I believe it is very biblical and true for a women to be a teacher or chaplain because God will use whoever he chooses for his will to be done

My sister is an EMT/firefighter, and she's the chaplain there. How she ever got elected is beyond me, because she takes the Lord's name in vain ALL THE TIME. :/ Plus she isn't religious and doesn't even go to church.. BUT she IS good at comforting people, so maybe that's why they made her chaplain. All I know is, I wouldn't want her ministering to ME on my deathbed..lol..
I assume you are speaking to me! When you are alone, sick and dying, you are thankful that anyone comes to pray with you, share some Scriptures, and talk about things that are important to you.
So yes, men and women! I have lots and lots of Greek exegesis of what the verses mean, but I am currently in my car travelling through the Rocky Mountains with little or no cell phone service. I will try to post tomorrow when I am home! I will explain why it is ok for women to preach to, teach and certainly comfort men!

Yes women can be a chaplain and hold any other positions in the church as a man.
One thing that is taught in churches now days is a cover up that man has done to try and change the fact that in the early church, even among the original 11 Apostles + Paul + Matthias there was women in leadership roles in the church back then. And Apostle Paul even commends some of them for their working in the faith !!!

remember to interpret scripture in context of history and region. In many of the NY churches, a woman was seen as a second class citizen, And would offend most men, and cause them to not listen to the word, even if they spoke truth. But in other areas, it was not that bad, Paul spoke of many women apostles in his letters. But we have the sacrifice yourself for those you are around idea he spoke so much about
