Christian Leadership: Integrity

Integrity is best learned by imagining the end result. Integrity is being a person that lives the high standards for self and others. People with integrity live each day by making right choices that do good over harm.  John Wesley, the foundation of the Methodist movement, encouraged Christians to “do all the good you can in all the ways you can.”

If this is your work and life each day, you are living with integrity inspired by Jesus Christ.

When you find people who live with strong integrity, it is best to learn from them. They know something about life that you need to know.

Rev. Wally Chappell lived a life of service and integrity.  As a young man, he used his mind to study engineering at Rice University in Houston, Texas.  He felt a call to serve others in the church and felt the need to study theology. He attended Perkins School of Theology at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas.

His integrity included living in his true-self with a true understanding of God’s work in the world around him. At the end of his life, he wrote these words:

“My Legacy” by Rev. Wallace Chappell

The Sunday School teacher asked, “What legacy do you leave your family? Sons? Their wives and your great-grandchildren?” Here are some of my thoughts on the matter.

With respect to BEING:

1. An example of a man of transparent integrity: true blue; real. What you see is what you get. The opposite of phony. I see this as God’s design for humanity.
2. An example of a man of love:  love of kin, love of ‘The Great Mystery’ of life, and
   love for commitment to the well-being of everyone; while holding all in warm regard; a love not necessarily connected to liking people. I see this as Jesus’ understanding of love.
3. An example of one who looks steadily in the eyes of all I meet, communicating openness and acceptance. I understand this to be ‘The Way’ of Jesus and his followers and may be labeled ‘utmost hospitality.’
4. An example of a man who lives the call to silence: at moments each day to cease the rush, to turn off the mental chatter, to learn to ‘hear’ the ‘voice’ of ‘The Mystery’ that speaks in our thoughts; and to hear so clearly, so discernibly, that the ‘Great Yes’ of faith wells up within: ‘Yes’ to ‘The Mystery,’ ‘Yes’ to grace, and ‘Yes’ to fulfillment and an abundant life. I believe this will not happen in the notice and speed of modern life unless we attend the silences and heed the messages of the ‘Still Small Voice.’

So, my legacy is: if we do observe the silences, religion will again make sense, and ‘The Other” will communicate with us in ways that produce love, compassion, justice, kindness, and hospitality. This I see as ‘spiritual’ life.

5. An example of a man who follows 1 through 4 above so diligently and consistently that a new care for the earth, its people, and its resources is established and maintained; soon; since our window of survival seems to me to be steadily closing. This is the life of a caretaker of God’s creation.

With respect to DOING:

That I leave as a pastor, churchman, servant, preacher, husband, daddy, grandfather, engineer, kinsman, educator, citizen and friend.

With respect to GROWING:

That I hope to leave as one who is going on toward a perfection that will never be completed in this life, a perfection measured by ‘Holy Mystery’ alone, which will continue to re-visit me, and nudge me on, as long as sentences and faith remain.

This is my legacy.

Join us every Thursday as we explore practices that connect us with our Creator God. God’s greatest desire is to BE with us. Spiritual practices keep us in the flow of the Holy Spirit and God’s presence. We are thrilled you are here and @Practice with us. This simple moment can be a retreat from daily life and a space for you to BE with God in your every day activities.

Meredith and Steven Bell share many things in common and share many differences. They met 24 years ago in Dallas, Texas while studying theology. With each having a science degree already, they both decided a theology degree was the next right step. For the past 24 years, they have served communities in ministry together in a number of different ways. The relationships they have built along the way with friends, colleagues and churches is a blessing to their lives. The biggest blessing is being parents to two amazing young women. From diapers to driver’s licenses, they have parented, laughed, sacrificed, loved, prayed, cried, and grown together. Their differences simply make life interesting. Growing up in different states, listening to different music, enjoying different hobbies and just seeing the world around them differently keeps conversations lively! You can find Steven at First Methodist Church of Shreveport most days unless he is looking for waterfowl with his dog, Sam. You can find Meredith writing grants for non-profits and coaching people in ministry. More than anything, you can find the Bells living grateful lives. We are grateful to live in Shreveport and even more grateful to join with others to spread hope, love, and faith in the community!

Whether the game is known as the Crosstown Showdown, the Shreveport Showdown, or the Kings Highway Clash, it is always a raucous environment when LSUS and Centenary hook up on the hardwood. This year’s edition was no different Wednesday night at the Gents’ Gold Dome.

While this is considered a rivalry game, the Pilots have come out on the winning end in six of the previous seven games in the series. So, this rivalry has been somewhat one-sided.

The eighth edition of this classic was the season opener for both squads and it was full of fireworks and drama. LSUS built a 10-point lead with a minute left only to squander it. However, missed last second looks by Seth Thomas and Jalen Behr helped the Pilots escape the Gold Dome with a 67-64 victory.

LSUS coach Kyle Blankenship spoke about the atmosphere and each team’s performance after the game.

“Shreveport showed up (for this one tonight). Great atmosphere. It was our first time out with some new guys. We try to schedule tough in the preseason to put them in situations they will see later in March. We had a 10-point lead late that we tried to give away. That (Centenary) is a well-coached team.”

His Pilots looked like they might lose their second game in the rivalry as the game opened. Seth Thomas, Centenary’s fifth-year senior, scored eight of the first 10 and helped the Gents build a 15-2 lead by the first mandatory timeout.

The Pilots walked the Gents down, however, and made it a one-point game midway through the first half by getting to the charity stripe. LSUS made 11 free throws to help cut the margin to single digits. Despite the Pilots’ surge, Centenary managed to carry a 33-29 lead into intermission.

The second half became a back-and-forth contest. Melvion Flanagan began the scoring with a traditional three-point play cutting the lead to one. From there, each team traded baskets and the lead most of the way.

There were six ties and nine lead changes in the second half. LSUS took command at the three-minute mark, going on an 8-0 run which gave it that 10-point lead. Paul King, who went perfect from the free throw line, led the Pilots with 15. Guard Damon Davis followed with 14.

Quentin Beverly and Seth Thomas were the Gents’ dynamic duo on the night. They had 20 and 18 respectively, which led all scorers.

Centenary coach Chris Dorsey talked about the maturation of the night’s leading scorer.

“Que has become a verbal leader while last year he led by example. He is one of our top offensive guys and we expect a lot from him.”

Both teams can take positives into their next game from this one.

LSUS and Centenary will open their home schedules next Wednesday. LSUS will hook up with John Melvin in their annual Champions of Character game while the Gents will host Texas College.

Women — LSUS 88, Centenary 48

Blankenship got his first win as the interim coach of the women’s team as a nine-point run at the end of the first quarter broke open a tight game in Wednesday’s first contest. The Lady Pilots led by 11 after one, and took a commanding 20-point lead at the break.

The Lady Pilots saw five players score in double figures, led by Tyquanna Ross who had 12. TaNyjah Plumber of the Lady Gents led all scorers in the game with 13 points, going 3-5 from three.

LSUS moves to 1-1 on the young season. They will play Dillard on Saturday at The Dock.

The Centenary Ladies will officially open their season next Wednesday on the road at Jarvis Christian. Their game against the Lady Pilots counted as an exhibition.

As an LSUS student, Angela Bowman-White had a passion for learning that extended across various fields of study. She found herself drawn to sociology, criminal justice, and a range of other courses, ultimately earning a general studies degree in 2008. Little did she know that this diverse academic background would play a crucial role in her future.

Fast forward to 2023, and Angela Bowman-White is applying every bit of that knowledge as the director of the only adoption agency of its kind in the region.

After a successful career in community and outpatient mental health centers, Angela’s mentor suggested that she explore opportunities at Open Arms Adoption Services, Inc., working alongside D. Missy Everson. This shift into the world of adoption marked a significant change from her previous work in mental health.

“Adoption was completely different than the mental health arena,” Angela said. She earned a master’s degree in social work from LSU in 2012 and joined Open Arms Adoption Services in 2016, primarily working with families hoping to adopt. However, when Missy Everson announced her plans to retire, Angela found herself being groomed to take over the agency.

This transition required Angela to dive into the adoption arena from the perspective of birth mothers who choose adoption and understand the business concepts of operating the agency.

Open Arms specializes in infant and toddler placement in Louisiana, connecting adoptive families and birth mothers. The agency offers a wide range of services, including various types of support for birth mothers during their pregnancies. Birth families have the option to choose adoptive parents, and the agency provides intensive orientation, home study, and post-adoption supervision for adoptive parents.

Angela took over as the agency’s director in early 2023 after a year of intense mentorship from Missy Everson. She sought additional training, including a certificate in Training for Adoption Competency through the Center for Adoption Support and Education, to prepare herself for the new role.

Whether it’s being present at births or working around a family’s schedule for evening or weekend supervision visits, Angela Bowman-White might be running the roads all across northwest Louisiana.

“I very much feel like adoption work is purposeful; there’s a bigger picture behind it – it’s not just a job,” Angela said. “I can see a bigger hand moving the pieces. When you see a lifelong, ongoing relationship with a birth family and adoptive family staying connected, it’s a beautiful thing.”

Open Arms’ services have become even more critical after Louisiana’s 2022 ban on virtually all abortions, with exceptions only in cases where the mother’s life is in danger or the fetus is not expected to survive the pregnancy.

The organization’s services extend well beyond the adoption process. Counseling services are available to the adopted child, birth families, and adoptive families.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s been five weeks or five years since the adoption; we offer counseling services throughout the lifecycle of that adoption,” Angela explained. “Part of the benefit of placing through an agency like ours is that those lifelong resources exist. It’s broader than just the adoption.”

The field of adoption services allows Angela to merge her varied interests, which she discovered in part through her time at LSUS. Whether it’s assisting pregnant mothers who might be in unstable environments or assuring a couple battling infertility, Angela finds fulfillment in her work.

As a LaPREP graduate who spent three summers on LSUS’s campus during middle school and also visited her father, Michael Bowman, who worked in computing services at LSUS, Angela has always had a close connection with the university.

November is National Adoption Month, and Angela Bowman-White’s story is a testament to the profound impact that one individual, armed with knowledge and compassion, can have on the lives of countless families.

In a world that often requires a helping hand, the shining examples of generosity and community commitment are truly inspiring. Meet Dr. George and Sandra Bakowski, the regional 2023 National Philanthrophy Day Outstanding Philanthropists, whose remarkable contributions are leaving a lasting, positive impact on the Shreveport community.

“Exhibits exceptional generosity to the community” – these words perfectly encapsulate the unwavering dedication of Dr. George and Sandra Bakowski. Beyond their roles as business entrepreneurs, they have embraced the essence of philanthropy, understanding its profound ability to transform our community for the better.

The Bakowskis have donned many hats, from business owners and educators to property developers, and are being honored by the Association of Fundraising Professionals of North Louisiana.

Their philanthropic journey has seen them actively involved in numerous volunteer roles within the Shreveport community. Dr. Bakowski, a practicing optometrist, and Mrs. Bakowski, a former Caddo Parish Public Schools teacher, played pivotal roles in establishing the Caddo Parish Child Advocate Program.

One remarkable contribution that stands as a testament to their commitment is the Bakowski Bridge of Lights on the Texas Street Bridge. As lead advocates and donors for this beautiful LED light project, Dr. Bakowski’s meticulous research on the lighting product and advocacy with government leadership was instrumental. This bridge not only adds a touch of elegance to our community but also acts as a catalyst for both community pride and economic development.

The Bakowskis’ support extends far and wide, and LSU Health Shreveport has been a fortunate recipient of their generosity since 2010. They funded the Dr. George and Sandra Bakowski Endowed Professorship in Aerodigestive Malignancies for the Feist-Weiller Cancer Center (FWCC). In 2014, they made a commitment to renovate the library in the FWCC, resulting in the creation of the Dr. George and Sandra Bakowski Center of Learning. This modern space provides patients with essential resources to understand cancer care, treatment, and prevention.

With the introduction of the new Center for Medical Education building, the Bakowskis have gone even further by committing to fund the Bakowski Center for Culinary Medicine. This innovative center will include a demonstration kitchen, offering culinary medicine educational programming courses, making it a valuable resource for the community.

However, the Bakowskis’ giving spirit goes beyond the boundaries of these organizations. Their donations have touched the lives of numerous institutions, including the Ark-La-Tex Sports Museum of Champions, Friends of the Louisiana State Exhibit Museum, Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl, Shreveport Water Works Museum, American Heart Association, Diocese of Shreveport, and Eye Samaritans International.

Their philanthropic endeavors are a testament to the positive impact that individuals can have when they combine their resources, dedication, and compassion. The Bakowskis embody the spirit of giving and community-building, and their legacy will undoubtedly continue to benefit Shreveport for years to come.

As we celebrate their extraordinary contributions, it’s important to note that tickets for the NPD event are still available. Don’t miss the opportunity to be part of this remarkable occasion. Purchase your tickets today at NPD Event Tickets.

The story of Dr. George and Sandra Bakowski is a testament to the incredible potential of philanthropy to transform and uplift our community. Their generosity serves as a beacon of hope, inspiring us all to make a positive impact in our own way.

Question of the week: What was the first radio broadcast in Louisiana?

On October 19th, 1932 Henry Ford gave his first radio address. The event was notable. Ford was a world-renowned celebrity by 1932. Most people of his fame had already embraced and used the new medium of radio to further their own causes and reputations. Ford in his own way was one of the first to do so, but not in person. In other words, the Ford Motor Company was an early key sponsor on radio. In fact, in the long history of advertising, Ford was a genius and as early as 1922 the airwaves were dominated with his name and products. But, in all that time he never gave a speech or talked for any great length over the radio. That changed in the fall of 1932 when he endorsed the re-election of Herber Hoover. Much of the content and the original recording are lost. He did compare Hoover to Lincoln and asked for patience from the 7 million unemployed. Ironically, Hoover’s opponent, Frankline D. Roosevelt, was already famous for his own use of the radio, appealing directly to the hearts and minds of the people. Ford’s endorsement this time was rather lackluster and ill-timed. Nevertheless, it was clear by 1932 that communication was totally revolutionized. News, entertainment, and politicians began to send their voices straight into the homes of their constituents. What was once reserved for the charm of the pen, became the clamor of sound thrust across the airwaves.

But what about Louisiana? What was the first broadcast and was it used for such consequential purposes? The answer depends on what defines consequential. The first known radio program was at 10:52am on March 31st, 1932 from WWL a station created by Loyola University. The presenter was Father Edward Cummings, a priest employed by the school. His address was part homily and part commercial. The entire venture was a ploy to raise $1.5 million in endowment funds. As part of his plea Father Cummings announced “We are organizing the radio operators in the state to spread the story of Loyola’s needs. Will you lend your support to our campaign, both by radio and individual effort which will aid us in making Loyola University one of the greatest institutions of learning in the Southland?” Following this overture was a slate of musical selections, mostly recordings of local choirs. In Louisiana the first of this great medium was not a president, great captain of industry or popular entertainer. It was a parish priest passing the plate.

The Loyola broadcast may seem benign. But it is actually very symptomatic of the age. Radio from the beginning was a commercial enterprise. It was either going to rely on advertising to pay the freight or make public appeals to raise cash. This reality has not changed in over 100 years. Telethons and quarterly fundraisers are still a common feature for public and non-profit radio stations. Like Father Cummings they make a direct appeal to the audience for funding.

Furthermore, radio was quickly embraced by many preachers and celebrity pastors. Across the south hellfire and brimstone preachers began to wail into the microphone and were quite entertaining. Churches sponsored gospel hours and Bible societies sold prayer cards, books and other assorted goods. The first printing presses printed the Bible. Many of the first radio stations aired the Gospel. Which is where the story of Louisiana’s first broadcast takes a turn. Father Cummings was chastised by his immediate authorities for commercialization. Apparently, he had run afoul of canon 142 which read “Clerics are forbidden to engage personally or through another in business or to carry on commerce whether for their own benefit of for that of others.” For a short period WWL went silent. This did not last long. Cummings and Loyola pointed out that other parishes were selling advertisements in their magazines and newsletters to cover the cost of printing. If most of the programming was entertainment the station was not really a commercial enterprise. This argument must have been compelling because WWL not only stayed on the air, by 1929 the stated purpose of the station was to promote the welfare of the school’s endowment!

Radio and its successor television were culture transforming. Like the iPhone, it was not long before these devices were wholly embraced by the population at large. But, all change comes with a price tag. In Louisiana that price tag was $1.5 million dollars. Enjoy the choir folks, they are singing for a good cause!

You didn’t really expect Loyola senior quarterback Bryce Carpenter to say that this week’s game against Calvary was just another game, did you?

Or that the Cavaliers are nothing more than the next opponent on the Flyers’ schedule? 

Not from someone who attended Calvary, starting in pre-kindergarten until … he didn’t.

That was September, 2022, when Carpenter, who had started the first three games of the season at quarterback for the Cavaliers, decided to transfer after being informed that he was no longer the starter.

He had to sit out for a full calendar year from the date he enrolled at Loyola before becoming eligible to play again. 

But Carpenter always knew the date of Nov. 3, 2023, was out there — when his new school would take on his old school. And now, here it is.

The Flyers will travel to Jerry Barker Stadium Friday night to take on Calvary for the final game of the regular season. Even though the game could decide the District 1-2A championship, you have to admit that Carpenter is an interesting story line.

And he knows it.

“I think it will be interesting,” Carpenter says.

You think?

“I think there will be some talking going on,” he says. “It will be pretty competitive. But I think it will be all love at the end of the game.” 

Since becoming the starter for Loyola in Week 4 this year, Carpenter has led the Flyers to four wins in five games. He has brought a mixture of running and passing to the Loyola offense – he passed for 206 yards in his second start, and a week ago, rushed for 131 yards in a win over North Caddo.

But most of all, he’s helped the Flyers get into the end zone as he has accounted for 14 touchdowns in five games.

Changing teams and taking over in mid-season at quarterback is not a transition that many high school football players have to make in their careers.

“I had to meet new people and become a leader in a new locker room,” Carpenter says. “These are not guys I had been around my whole life. Plus, it’s a whole new offense, but I feel like I’ve learned a lot more about the game.”

Yet, having 12 months off wasn’t easy to overcome. There was an adjustment period before getting comfortable again at quarterback.

“Just being older, I feel like my confidence is back,” he says. “I understand defenses a lot better and have a better ability to make decisions.”

Carpenter says he keeps in touch with a few of his former teammates, and he is well versed in what Calvary has accomplished this year, as well as what he can expect once the game starts.

“I know they are athletic, I know they are competitive and I know they will probably be coming after me,” Carpenter says. “I think they are expecting to win and I’d like to prove them wrong.”

But he also knows what a tall order that is. Calvary is 9-0 this season, ranked No. 1 in the state in Class 2A and has outscored its previous district opponents 215-6. It’s the first time the Flyers have played a team ranked No. 1 in the state since 2015 (Sterlington).

“I think this week is an opportunity to show the improvement that we have made this season,” Carpenter says. “I’d like to show them that we are a better team than maybe they expect us to be.”

Centenary and LSUS square off tonight in a men’s and women’s basketball exhibition doubleheader, the 2023 edition of the “Kings Highway Clash,” at the Gold Dome.

The Centenary Ladies and LSUS Lady Pilots will begin the evening at 5:30 p.m. followed by the Gents and Pilots at approximately 7:30 p.m. The award-winning Centenary choir will sing the national anthem prior to the women’s game.

The Gents and Pilots are meeting for the eighth time, with the Pilots holding a 6-game edge while the Ladies and Lady Pilots are meeting for the fourth time but for the first time since Dec. 9, 2014 when LSUS defeated the Maroon and White, 79-48 at home. Wednesday’s game is the season opener for both the Gents, Ladies and Pilots and the second contest for the LSUS women after they fell 79-72 at home in overtime to Texas Wesleyan last Friday.

Kyle Blankenship, the veteran and highly successful Pilots’ coach, is also coaching the Lady Pilots this season.

The Gents, led by seventh-year head coach Chris Dorsey, will begin the regular season at home on Wednesday, Nov. 8 against Texas College in a non-conference contest set for 7:30 p.m.

Dorsey, one of the top young coaches in the country, has taken the program to new heights in his six-year tenure. He is 85-60 with the Gents, including a 56-34 mark in Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference play. Centenary has now finished .500 or better in all six seasons under Dorsey.

Last season, the Gents had one of their best seasons in program history as they finished 18-9 overall and 10-6 in conference play and tied the Division III era (2012-present) single-season record for wins. Centenary earned the No. 3 seed in the SCAC Tournament as the Maroon and White made their 10th-straight appearance in the event, where they defeated Southwestern in the quarterfinals before falling to host and No. 2 seed Trinity in the semifinals.

The Ladies, led by interim head coach Paul Reed, will begin their regular season on Nov. 8 at Jarvis Christian University for a non-conference game scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Centenary landed three players on the All-SCAC team last season, the most in six seasons.

Centenary’s homecoming court will be announced between the basketball games on Wednesday night and homecoming week wraps up with men’s and women’s swimming teams holding their annual Intrasquad/Alumni Meet on Saturday, Nov. 4 at 1 p.m.

Admission is FREE to all Centenary home athletic contests. Live stats and live video stream are available for all Centenary home contests.
