Erreur fréquente :
Learners sometimes use “chaplain” to mean any religious leader in a church. A chaplain is usually connected to a special place or group (like an army, hospital, school, or prison), not just a regular church. Also, some learners think a chaplain must be Christian, but in many countries there are chaplains from different religions or multi-faith chaplains.
