Kappa Klergy Korner

Rev. Dr. Clint Lewis BAC '15

"Achievement" is not merely about accolades, but about aligning ambition with assignment. When purpose fuels passion, progress becomes possible. The Apostle Paul reminds us in Philippians

3:14, "I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." That’s not just persistence—it’s purposeful pursuit. 

Real achievement requires the courage to continue, the clarity to commit, and the character to conquer.


Stay steady in the storm, stay strong in the struggle, and stay surrendered to the Savior. Every accomplishment anchored in Christ carries eternal value. Let your life be a testimony that with faith, focus, and fortitude, mountains move, doors open, and destiny unfolds.

August is Immunization Awareness Month

August marks National Immunization Awareness Month, a time to highlight the critical role vaccines play in protecting public health across the lifespan. From childhood immunizations to adult boosters and seasonal flu shots, vaccines remain one of the most effective tools in

preventing disease, reducing hospitalizations, and saving lives. 


Yet, in today’s political climate, science and public health expertise face increasing skepticism. This year’s Immunization Awareness Month comes at a pivotal moment. Scientific integrity is under attack. Experts who have long served on the Advisory Committee on Immunization

Practices (ACIP)—a cornerstone of evidence-based vaccine recommendations—are being replaced by individuals lacking scientific or public health credentials. This politicization of science undermines decades of progress in immunization and public health policy, and

threatens to erode public trust in vaccines altogether.


Now more than ever, we must acknowledge facts over fear. Vaccines are not a partisan issue—they are a scientific victory. Prioritizing evidence-based recommendations from qualified professionals, and ensuring our communities are informed and vaccinated is vital to safeguarding public health and reducing preventable disease outbreaks. Vaccines not only

protect individuals, but also help build community immunity, especially for those who are immunocompromised or too young to be vaccinated.


This month, we must recommit ourselves to science, support those on the frontlines of public health, as immunization is not just a personal choice; it’s a social responsibility. In a time where disinformation spreads faster than disease, science must remain our most trusted vaccine. 


Brothers, I encourage you to consult with your physician or healthcare

professional to make sure that you (and your family members) are up-to-date on your preventive vaccinations based on your age and health risk factors.
