Unmoored: America Adrift in Historical Forgetfulness and Finding Our Way Back

Unmoored: America Adrift in Historical Forgetfulness and Finding Our Way Back

Something has happened in the USA. Like a boat loose from its moorings, we are adrift in dangerous waters, away from the safety of a good harbor, set upon a stable foundation. In this upheaval, depression, loneliness, and self-harm have accelerated leading to the nation sinking in key indicators like health and wellness, poverty, and education. We lost our way over the past 60-80 years as we forgot, or failed to understand, our national history, losing comprehension of the events of our founding, especially as related to the Christian roots within the cultural foundation. In this tension, conservative and progressive citizens have ended in confrontation, fighting over how to "save" or "preserve" the country as each group comes to divergent conclusions. Conservative Christians, having believed that their faith vital for the nation, seem to lean inexorably toward Christian nationalism. Progressives, often replying "none" to questions of religious affiliation, seem to lean to a view that the Christian heritage of the nation now a danger. We will examine the missing historical truths of our mutual history that point forward to safe harbor, finding how to restore key foundational elements of a healthy civic society that allows for a flourishing for everyone, a common good.
