What will we leave our children? The American Dream demands more than comfort
The church cannot fulfill that responsibility by retreating from questions shaping American life.

The platforms may change, but our responsibility to pass on what we have received does not.
EXCLUSIVE: NEW CHURCH CAMPAIGN SAYS AMERICA'S FAMILY CRISIS WON'T BE SOLVED BY POLITICS, BUT BY PASTORS

The American Dream was never meant to be a purely personal arrangement, a private guarantee that each of us, in our own lifetime, could claim "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness" for ourselves alone. It was always a longer promise: a commitment to build and keep a country in which those same freedoms and opportunities would remain available to the generations who follow.
We enjoy the possibility of that dream because earlier Americans treated it as something worth protecting beyond their own lifetimes. They understood that the real measure of the work was not only what they could enjoy, but what they left standing for those who had not yet arrived. In that sense, the dream was never finished in any single generation; it was entrusted, again and again, to the next.
