It's not a Navy-only affair and I suspect that it was actually the product of the Armed Forces Chaplains Board, the current Executive Director of which is Army CH COl David Wake, who's ordination is through a non-denom Baptistic church. It's still got some odd groupings -- Reform Jews are counted as Reformed Christians -- I haven't met many of them who were big fans of John Calvin.
It probably made sense to streamline this list but some of the inclusions, omissions, and clarifications are strange. The Episcopal family mostly makes sense and many in the ACC will be happy to be classified as Catholic. The Presbyterian group doesn't mention the ARPs but the RPCES and the UPCUSA, which haven't existed for more than forty years, are. More egregiously, Reform Jews are now included in the Christian-Reformed category.
No consistent Christian should have any problem whatever with the blackness of Anthony Bradley's skin. There does seem to be some problem, however, with the thinness of it.
While I am sympathetic to @ZacharyGarris and think he's been treated unfairly, some have asked why @drantbradley hasn't been charged for more inflammatory comments. That's a bit of an apples and oranges situation. Garris, as a minister, is a member of a presbytery and it is they who handle his discipline and to whom he is accountable. Bradley, while seminary-trained, is a layman and it would ordinarily be his congregation's session (Elders) who would handle discipline.
It's a bit of an apples and oranges situation.
