The term, Adjutant, is borrowed from military vocabulary which means “A staff officer acting as a general assistant to a commanding officer” and “a staff officer in charge of and responsible for official correspondence except combat orders, personnel records, etc.” and “one who assists or helps.”

The men and women appointed to this office are those of willing heart and who realize the value of serving religious leadership.
