Hello and welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m Delaney—Orthodox Christian, author, former wedding planner, wife to an Army chaplain, and the heart behind The Chaplain’s Wife.

​

This space was created as a community for all kinds of Orthodox Christians—whether you're a cradle Orthodox, a convert, a chaplain’s spouse, a military family, a mom navigating little ones, or someone just exploring the beauty of the ancient Church. You belong here.

​

My heart is to help you keep your faith at the center—especially during big moments like weddings, deployments, illness, and the holy chaos of everyday life. I offer resources like travel prayer kits and a children’s book series designed to help little ones (and their grownups) walk through life’s challenges with the help of Christ, the Saints, and each other.

​

Through The Chaplain’s Wife, I also love supporting chaplain candidates and their families, connecting with other women, and reminding everyone—especially those who feel like they don’t quite “fit the mold”—that there is room for you in the Church. Orthodoxy isn’t one-size-fits-all. Whether you wear high heels, crocs, or both—there’s a seat for you at the table.

Let’s keep things simple, sacred, and centered on Christ.

With love and prayers,
Pani Delaney​
