School Chaplains gain statewide, nationwide momentum

Texas legislators passed the “School Chaplaincy Act” which was signed into law by Governor Greg Abbott on June 18th, 2023. Since then, over a dozen other states are poised to follow.

Legislation is teed up in states from Louisiana to Pennsylvania. 01/10/2024 12:00 AM

My New Year’s Anti-Resolutions

A few days ago, during one of those rare occasions when our whole family was together and my three semi-grown daughters weren’t nursing an iPhone while wearing universe-canceling headphones, my wife posed probably the most oftasked question this time of year: “Does anyone have any New Year’s resolutions?” 01/03/2024 12:00 AM
