Diverse School Chaplaincy Programs: Tailored Training For Education Announced

Jul 27, 2023

The National School Chaplain Association (NSCA), the governing body for school chaplains in the United States, announces its tailored training programs developed to welcome more diversity into the school chaplaincy community.

Norman, United States - July 27, 2023 /PressCable/ —

Diversity is an essential value for the NSCA and it is one which they uphold in their placement of school chaplains in both private and public, as well as denominational and non-denominational schools across the United States. Now, they are bringing their leading ethos of diversity to their own professional chaplaincy training programs with a view to welcoming a more diverse candidature to the vital role of the school chaplain.

The NSCA is proud of the diverse face of education in the US today and they hope that with their recently announced tailored chaplaincy training programs, they can create more diversity within the school chaplain community. Although the NSCA has traditionally welcomed previously accredited teachers and individuals with ministerial experience into their training programs, they now have a completely open call for applications.

Although a college-level degree is advantageous, individuals now need only a high school diploma to apply to NSCA’s school chaplaincy training programs. As NSCA has switched to online learning, they are now better able to create completely personalized study paths that will be completed - via distance education - in conjunction with Oral Roberts University in Oklahoma.

Because of this partnership, NSCA can provide each trainee with a precise course of study, one which considers their prior studies and experiences, or helps them take their very first step towards chaplaincy.

NSCA has an online portal that can help an interested applicant quickly determine what they will require to apply and will advise them of their required course of study. They also have a passionate team of chaplain accreditors who can provide more personalized support over the phone.

The NSCA believes school chaplains have never been more vital, and they are committed to creating a diverse chaplaincy community that can help today’s children and young people.

A spokesperson for the association said, “The National School Chaplain Association (NSCA) was established to promote school chaplains as a legitimate and necessary member of a school staff through national standards for school chaplains. NSCA is a Christian chaplain ministry that provides spiritual care, counseling, and practical community support to Pre-K through 12th grade students, teachers, and their families regardless of age, race, creed, color, sex, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, marital status, or socioeconomic status.”

Japan tame North Korea to win Games gold after shootout drama

JAPAN — Hosts Japan won their third straight Asian Games women's football gold on Friday, edging North Korea on penalties after a 2-2 draw in a dramatic final. Yuzuho Shiokoshi scored the decisive penalty as Japan, who reached the final without conceding a goal, won 5-3 in the shootout to claim the title for the fourth time. North Korea changed their goalkeeper in the final minute of extra time but it was not enough to give them their first gold since 2014. The hosts looked in full control when Mami Ueno gave them the lead in the 32nd minute in Shizuoka. But Jong Kum bundled in an equalizer two minutes into the second half that was eventually given after a VAR check, before Jon Ryong Jong put North Korea ahead in the 69th minute. Japan's Hanon Nishio equalized with four minutes left to send the game into extra time. The teams could not be separated and North Korea brought on substitute goalkeeper Chae Un Gyong to help their cause. Instead it was Japan goalkeeper Shu Ohba who was the hero, stopping Jong's penalty in the only miss of the shootout. North Korea were backed by groups of red-clad supporters among the crowd of over 6,000. Japan and North Korea went into the final having each scored 26 goals in the previous rounds. The two teams had also shared the previous six Asian Games titles, winning three each. Japan coach Michihisa Kano won his first title since replacing Greenland-born Nils Nielsen. Nielsen led Japan to the Asian Cup title in Australia in March but was fired 12 days later. North Korea were looking to extend their astonishing recent run of international success in women's football. They have won three world titles at age-group level in the last two years, and North Korean club Naegohyang Women's FC became Asian champions in May after a final tournament played in South Korea. Women's football is one of the strongest international sports for diplomatically isolated and impoverished North Korea, with their national sides regularly competing at the highest levels in Asia and globally.

Philippines tennis star Eala says 'I get overwhelmed sometimes'

NAGOYA, Japan — Alexandra Eala admitted on Friday that she gets "overwhelmed sometimes" by the huge weight of expectation placed on her as a trailblazer for tennis in the Philippines. The 21-year-old leaves the Asian Games having fallen short of her ambition to win gold for her country, instead settling for bronze. Eala is followed everywhere by adoring fans eager for a piece of the world number 18, who in August became the first player from the Philippines to win a title on the women's WTA Tour. "I definitely do get overwhelmed sometimes," said Eala. "But I understand that it's such a privilege to be in the position that I'm in and to be able to live out the dreams that I've always had as a kid. "So it's something I've had to accept that it comes with the job, and this is how things are. "I'm ready for the challenge." Eala, who skipped the prestigious China Open in Beijing to play for her country at the Asian Games, said she would take away good memories despite exiting in the semi-finals in a three-set defeat to China's lower-ranked Wang Xinyu. Wang went on to beat compatriot Zhang Shuai to win gold on Friday. "It does come with pressure, but I'm really happy that I was able to compete here," said Eala, who was the top seed. "To be able to share it with the Filipino people is really important," she added. "No regrets. I left everything on the court," said Eala. With Games gold comes direct qualification for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics. Eala said it was still her "dream" to play in LA. "There are other ways of qualifying for the Olympics, so I guess it's also an extra motivation," she said. "Competing in the Olympics is definitely a dream of mine. So, if anything, I leave here more motivated."
