Keeping Up With the Chaldeans: With Janel, Father John, & Natalia - The Chaldean Collective

[@acohan1]

As a former atheist convert ( I'm Roman Catholic). . I'd really love to see more of you engaging with us after all you are our brothers and sisters. . The holy qurbana , litany of Mari&addai ect is as much ours as the Vatican is yours. .

The Chaldean collective can evolve into so many things. You guys could tackle Immigration, mental health, addiction within our community, deal with our peoples misery, let no chaldean go hungry or without. So many more issues you can tackle. You need to build a big team with delegates in every state where Chaldeans are.. Which to my knowledge is Michigan California Nevada Chicago Ohio Florida.. I love the idea of this collective and every Chaldean should get behind this.

These are my suggestions for the Chaldean Collective. Please come to San Diego and add the Chaldean Churches here please. Then go to Las Vegas st Barbara's! If you can make it Nationwide, unite Chaldeans everywhere that would be a beautiful thing. Maybe one day create a Chaldean day where all Chaldeans from every state come visit for a huge retreat. We have to remember, we are in Diaspora. Which means we all left home and split ways, separated to different states and nations. In truth we all come from the same villages and regions! First thing you should do is collect all the church Census you can get, create a book of Chaldeans to put every Chaldean in one book and count them as members as the Chaldean collective.(literally keeping up with the Chaldeans haha) HERE IS ANOTHER SUGGESTION(more like a pipe dream)- This would be the first step to claiming our land back in Iraq. If our collective united with the Assyrian/Aramean/Syriac/Suryoyo collectives, make one whole collective.. Secular, but still Christian based so our ideals don't clash.. and take our claim to the United Nations.. We are already the indigenous people of basically most of where Iraq and kurdistan is. If Jews can do it, why can't we? We have a rightful claim to the land. Imagine a world where we wouldn't be scared to go back home(never been to Iraq, would love to see) The Chaldean Collective can be a great start to something beautiful. It can potentially turn into us having our home again in 50 years, Call it Mesopotamia(to not offend the name's of assyrian/chaldean/aramean) So many more issues, ideas and problems you can tackle with this collective. Please keep it going!!!! God bless this collective!

I feel so proud, dignified and honored to be born Chaldean. If had to choose my ethnicity all over again, I wouldn’t change a darn thing !

We’re losing our identity because many Chaldeans do not know their history. We are ethnic Assyrians and our youth only know about belonging to a church. Of course we will lose our culture, when the only identity that we attach to ourselves is belonging to a religious group. If Christ is the only important thing to us Chaldeans, why should culture matter? If we do not educate our Chaldean Catholic youth on our Assyrian roots then we will lose our heritage and just become a Christian denomination.
