HOT TOPICS - RESPONDING TO CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM, INTERFAITH DISCUSSION SERIES

Location: University Baptist and Brethren Church, 411 S Burrowes St.

 

Christian nationalism is an ideology that threatens our faith and our pluralistic democracy, and thus needs to be addressed by faith groups in the United States. We need your presence and voice with us to understand and respond to this rising power in our society.

What a summer it has been, and continues to be, as the cooler days shift us into a new season. Many of us are counting the days until the election, worried about the consequences to our democracy. We are coming up on the anniversary of Oct. 7 when the ongoing situation in Israel and Gaza took on nightmare proportions.
