THE CHAPLAIN’S STUDY There is something that has changed in the psyche of teenagers today in comparison to my time as a teenager over 50 years ago. Teenagers have grown up in a culture where morality is a matter of personal choice and therefore there are no absolutes, no distinct rules to follow for the rules can change according to your personal whims. What one parent wants for his child may be different than what another parent might want for his. It seems that today’s society does not allow for many “rights” and “wrongs;” all things are in a shade of gray, nothing in black and white. Sex, materialism, decadence, indifference, and a variety of other sorts of moods seem to prevail. By the time children in our society today reaches 13, they have seen, heard, and experienced more than their parents encountered into their twenties. So, these children have had a premature exposure to the raw and sometimes raunchy adult word that gives them a cocky, “I know it all” attitude that I did not have until maybe when I was senior in high school. This generation is not only weaned on television, but also now sated with the delight of the world wide web, Twitter, and their iPhones. This has led these young people to say whatever they want on their blogs, Facebook, or whatever places that they choose. Everything has been reduced to “immediate gratification;” if they don’t get it now there will be “hell to pay” in a storm of acting-out behavior! So what happens when you try to educate these children in the Christian faith, the Holy Scriptures and Judeao-Christian theology? Hopefully that is the good news. Now that I have your attention about all that is bad with the world of youth today, let me speak to the necessity of the whole Church to take seriously its work in driving and maintaining its children in a cycle of love. Winston Churchill wrote that there are three kinds of people, “…those who let things happen, those who make things happen, and those who don’t know anything has happened.” We as Shriners need to be in the category of “… making things happen…” If our children can relate to a variety of stimuli for a certain amount of time, then we can educate them but only if their parents are there to support the work of those in the community to make it happen. We continue that role in the world trying to make it a better place for children to live with their limited bodies. The more we become people who are doers, the more we can help all sorts of people.
