INTERNATIONAL CHAPLAIN CORPS (ICC)
1. Legal and Institutional Declaration
The International Chaplain Corps (ICC) is hereby established as a professional, civilian, non-military, and non-denominational corps operating under the Ethica Project, an ethical transformation and workplace excellence initiative of Christ Passover.
The International Chaplain Corps exists solely for the purpose of ethical transformation, character reform, productivity enhancement, and anti-corruption advocacy across workplaces, institutions, communities, and nations.
2. Nature and Scope of the International Chaplain Corps
The International Chaplain Corps is:
Civilian and Professional – not a military, security, or paramilitary body
Non-military – does not operate under any armed forces structure
Non-political – independent of partisan politics
Non-denominational in service delivery – chaplains serve institutions without imposing religious doctrine
Ethics-centered – focused on character, integrity, productivity, and ethical excellence
ICC chaplains serve as Chaplains for Character Change, not as religious officials.
3. Core Mandate of the International Chaplain Corps
The International Chaplain Corps is mandated to:
Deploy trained and certified chaplains to workplaces and institutions
Conduct weekly ethical excellence sessions (15–45 minutes)
Promote ethical behaviour, discipline, accountability, and productivity
Support anti-corruption and anti-fraud commitments
Monitor ethical transformation and report institutional progress
Facilitate Ethica Certification of Ethical Excellence for individuals and institutions
Uphold ethical standards through renewal, withdrawal, and reinstatement mechanisms
4. Relationship Between ICC and Ethica
Ethica is the ethical framework, curriculum, certification authority, and global verification system
The International Chaplain Corps is the implementation and delivery arm of Ethica
All ICC chaplains are:
Trained under the Ethica Master Curriculum
Certified by Christ Passover – Ethica Secretariat
Governed by clear ethical, professional, and disciplinary policies
5. Global Positioning and Distinction
The International Chaplain Corps is distinct from:
Military chaplain corps
Denominational or church-based chaplain bodies
Pastoral or ecclesiastical ministries
Instead, ICC is positioned as:
A global professional corps for ethical excellence, character reform, and productivity transformation.
This distinction makes the ICC:
Acceptable to governments
Suitable for embassies and diplomatic institutions
Trusted by corporate entities
Scalable across Africa, Europe, the Americas, Asia, and beyond
6. Governance and Oversight
The International Chaplain Corps operates under:
The Ethica Secretariat (policy, certification, verification)
Institutional collaboration with governments and regulatory bodies
Oversight mechanisms including:
Ethical review committees
Performance monitoring
Certification renewal and withdrawal systems
Where applicable, national structures such as a National Chaplain Board or National Chaplaincy Authority may provide regulatory oversight, while Ethica retains training and certification authority.
7. Ethical Authority and Global Verification
Ethica, through the Ethica Secretariat and the International Chaplain Corps, operates a Global Ethical Excellence Database, enabling:
Real-time verification of chaplains
Verification of individual and institutional certificates
Status display: Valid / Suspended / Withdrawn
Public confidence and international trust
This positions Ethica as a global authority for ethical verification of human integrity.
