National School Chaplain Association has published a new article entitled New School Chaplaincy Initiative Aims to Strengthen America for Next 250 Years. Students crave community, but the enduring question remains: What truly constitutes the common good?” During the developmental stages, identity is gauged by comparing themselves to others. Their strongest desire is to belong. Will they turn to gangs or to positive role models?School Chaplains inspire a team spirit, gratitude and renewed responsibility in the schools. Team goals are then applied toward connectivity, academic excellence, career preparation, family stability, self care, healthy relationships, civic duty, and ultimately the stewardship of a nation.
The article is for those who are interested (as well as those opposed) to America’s July 4th, 250 Year Celebration. Everyone living in America can appreciate the article’s common ground. There is a need to restore public trust in the public schools and reawaken America’s strong foundations.
Journalists, news media, podcasters, educators, economist, historians and government officials can view the full article at https://www.nsca.global/editorials/new-school-chaplaincy-initiative-to-strengthen-america-for-the-next-250
The article includes several interesting pieces of information, one in particular is for students to recognize that America has not been perfect, but who is? True improvement relies on data-driven analysis and a deep respect for the foundations built by its predecessors.
Those who fail to learn from history are bound to repeat its mistakes —or miss its victories. Modern history text books have left out the undeniable and integral role that faith played in the successful forging America.
Most importantly, the article isn’t here to tell people what to think, but rather to encourage them to reconsider the things they’ve always been told. What is the whole story of America, and how should it end? Will students thrive or decline with confusion and social pressures?
The best example of this is perhaps found in the following extract:
‘America’s 250th Birthday marks a time to rediscover the values, sacrifices, and shared purpose that have sustained our republic. Mitigating future hardships requires replacing divisive rhetoric with a proactive approach that leverages America’s historical and contemporary achievements.
In discussing the article’s creation, Dorothy Kozar, Editorial Contributor at National School Chaplain Association said:
“Strength is born from mutual respect and love for one another. Moral foundations and freedom have drawn people to America from around the world. The stability of the United States rests upon the highest form of accountability. Self-governing and order comes from a heart changed by godly values. Those principles were proven 250 years ago. Chaplaincy was deemed an indispensable voice in calling for God’s help to establish America. From the school house to the White House; God’s help, can strengthen the USA for the next 250 years.”
Regular readers of National School Chaplain Association will notice the article takes a familiar tone, which has been described as ‘a compelling invitation toward a fresh look at all sides of the issue with mutual respect and a call to action.’
NSCA welcomes comments and questions from readers, in relation to the article, as they are intent on the opportunity to become better together.’ The reason is simply because dialog dispels misconceptions and accomplishes important things that would otherwise be lost.
