Chaplain Dennis Maloney has been stretched way outside of his comfort zone and he is doing a great job out there! Today, he laid the foundation for the flag pole and hoisted the Christian flag in front of the chapel.
Way to go, Bro. Dennis!!
The next breezy day, we will get a better picture of the flag.
UPDATE: Caught a breeze!
Here is a picture of the Christian flag so you can see what it looks like.
Today the Christian Flag is one of the oldest unchanged flags in the world. It was conceived at Brighton Chapel, Coney Island, New York, Sunday, September 26, 1897.
Pledge to the Christian Flag
There appears to be more than one version of this pledge to the Christian Flag. One version is:
“I pledge allegiance
To the Christian Flag
And to the Saviour,
For whose Kingdom it stands.
One Saviour, crucified,
risen and coming again,
With life and liberty
for all who believe.”
Many school children in private Christian schools immediately following the pledge to the American flag turn to the Christian Flag right hand still over the heart and recite:
PLEDGE TO THE CROSS
I pledge allegiance to the cross, of our Lord Jesus Christ,
And to the faith for which it stands, one Savior, eternal,
with mercy and grace for all.
