WHITE CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM AND US (Tuesdays at 12p, Sept. 24-Oct. 29):
White Christian Nationalism and Us (Tuesdays at 12p, Sept. 24-Oct. 29): White Christian Nationalism is neither Christian nor patriotic, but in recent years, churches and religious leaders have utilized this distortion of the faith to promote violence in the name of Christ. In this class, we will discuss what White Christian Nationalism is, how mainline churches such as our own are involved in its promotion, and what we are called to do in response.
Our class will be reading The Flag and the Cross: White Christian Nationalism and the Threat to American Democracy by Philip Gorski and Samuel Perry, along with using other supplementary readings and videos, which Richard will supply.
