PUBLIC-SCHOOLS
WELL, I had a good website dedicated to my WISH & DESIRE to have a non-denominational chapel in EVERY public school...it was hosted by posterous, but then posterous just started dumping and deleting my material without explanation; and none of what I posted was backed up, nor did I make any posts by email
(my only other backup alternative).
Thus everything was lost and i must start anew. Send your protest to posterous (now owned by twitter) for executing me, inexplicably. Some of you know I worked in public education for many years as an educator (as a regular teacher & substitute teacher).
Based on this experience I came to realize that there is a GREAT NEED for our young people to also have an opportunity to develop themselves "spiritually" in addition to all the other needs (academic, physical, emotional, etc). Yet our public schools offer absolutely NOTHING in terms of spiritual growth.
Of course, they would say they can't mandate faith or teach faith, etc, but I am NOT saying that any particular faith needs to be favored or proselytized (even if as an evangelical Christian I would, of course, prefer the Christian faith). I am saying that kids need an opportunity not to just study about world religions but also learn how these religions practice their faith, and this is best illustrated in a faith-like setting (ie church, chapel etc).
I submit that leaders from different religious backgrounds could come to schools and show the kids the basics of practicing their faith in a chapel setting (pews, pulpit, etc). Also, in addition to learning about faith from an experiential perspective, the chapels could be open for mature kids to spend time in reflection, prayer, etc according to their preference.
I personally found the lack of quiet space for reflection to be difficult for me as a spiritual person in a public setting. If it was difficult for me, how much more so for younger people who need time to become "equalized" (ie a typical school day can have many highs & lows and having a time and place to sit and reflect and/or pray quietly, if not worship, can be very helfpul).
In fact, I think some school problems such as fighting and anger and other issues could be minimized by the use of chapels. I will talk about this more in future postings. Meanwhile, I hope you will join me in praying for chapels in the public schools, and will encourage those with power to give it a chance.
