The Kentucky Faith & Public History Education Project produces resources for teachers and others to use when speaking of the history of Christianity in Kentucky. One significant priority has been to discover and disseminate biographical information linking the faith of famous Kentuckians with their achievements. To set famous Kentuckians as role models, heroes and heroines without including their own recognition that faith, religion or spirituality was an essential catalyst for the courage, wisdom, and diligence they needed to attain their fame may not equip our students to emulate their processes. Show-casing aspirational role models for our students is good. However, to deny the students critical information about the specific sources for their role models' strength (faith) may set them up for future disappointments and disillusionments. The topic of faith may be a missing component in the scope and sequence of the character education we make available to our K-12 students.
