“We are in a strange and dangerous age. It is an age
of certainty, and we have two myths we have to choose from — triumph or
transgression, glory or shame, a grand tree or a weed to be plucked out. We are
told we have to pledge to one side or the other or this election will be a
Flight 93 election — the plane will go down.”—Dr. Michael Chan, executive
director for faith and learning at Concordia College, address at the Chautauqua
Institution in upstate New York, July 12, 2026, quoted by Mary Lee Talbot, “Quality of Our Future Depends on the Quality of Our Memory, Says Michael Chan,” The
Chautauquan Daily, July 13, 2026
“The future of a people depends on the truthfulness of
their memory. A forgetful nation is a fragile nation. Moses urged the people to
remember the good, the bad and the ugly. Moses said that remembrance precedes
promise. We have our own Jordan to cross. We need to reconnect with all our
history to see how we got here. There is so much to celebrate, to repair and to
be done.” —Dr. Michael Chan, executive director for faith and learning at
Concordia College, in an address at the Chautauqua Institution in upstate New
York, July 12, 2026, quoted by Mary Lee Talbot, “Quality of Our Future Dependson the Quality of Our Memory, Says Michael Chan,” The Chautauquan Daily,
