We have cultivated a strong cooperative and personal relationships with these public servants and this places us in a strong position when advocacy is required in cases of crisis. In these interactions, we strive to improve communication, minimize misunderstandings, and foster a mutually respectful and cooperative relationship between the communities and those who serve them.
Faith-Based Initiative
An important initiative of the NCA is to create a safe, cooperative forum for leaders of different faiths and ethnicities to meet and get to know and understand one another. This movement aims to foster good relations among the richly varied people among whom we live. It also allows for chaplains to broaden their horizons so they may be of service to people of many backgrounds and affiliations.
