With clearly defining why and what one does in public life, our focus is on Religious and Political practices, powered by Historical perspectives and understandings, and renewed in The Experiment from the private virtues of each citizen to participation in the public square.
Let’s get started!
Religion and Politics practices
Religion and Politics are topics many people hold very near to their hearts, often consider them as part of their identity. Different opinions and controversies lead to personal attacks, or beyond. Someone said that Religion is not something monolithic, even though some would like to have it that way. What is taken as foundational in a religion is also interpreted in interpreting the world.
In everyday life, Politics can be seen in groups, such as in companies, clubs, schools, and local churches. The term Politics refers to the way that states are governed, and to the ways that governments make rules and laws to manage human society properly. “Hence it is evident that the state is a creation of nature, and that man is by nature a political animal.”
Is it this dilemma of love and hate of both religion and politics that makes us pay more attention to our own growth experience in one’s public life?
History prospective
Everything has a historical development, and it is necessary to have a broad understanding of any history that is relevant, and wisely seek on targeted focal points.
You’ll be amazed at how profoundly people’s ideas, institutions, and cultural practices differ. Historians use a wide range of sources to weave individual lives and collective actions into narratives that bring critical perspectives to our past and present.
Taking historical perspective also means understanding the social, cultural, intellectual, and emotional contexts that shaped people’s lives and actions. This can be intensely personal, and that’s where we focus most of our time.
The Experiment
In responded to criticism, George Washington said, “The establishment of our new Government seemed to be the last great experiment for promoting human happiness.” The Founders recognized the uniqueness of US government that does not infringe on people’s rights, religion and freedom. America has long been considered the leader of the free world—a role that requires continued commitment to supporting democracy, countering authoritarianism, and promoting freedom globally.
The positive conclusion that Lincoln drew from his historical research pointed through the Constitution and laws of the United States to their animating principles in the Declaration of Independence. This was to be a political regime in which no one had a right to govern another man without first securing his consent.
How do you position yourself and participate in The Experiment is the key question we want to ask. Do you “taste and see” the Unfinished Revolutions, Separation of Powers, and The People?
