Join Sojourners for an online conversation:
Eroding civil rights. Undercutting democratic norms. Endorsing violence to maintain power. Upholding white supremacy. Distorting faith for political gain. Every day seems to bring a new example of the threat of rising Christian nationalism – but how do we dismantle it?
In this online panel from Sojourners magazine, Christian nationalism experts and faith leaders will explore the hopeful actions that can counter this deadly set of beliefs. Panelists will explain what Christian nationalism is (and isn’t), offer examples of actions to help end it, and articulate a path forward that neither stifles the participation of people of faith in public life nor threatens a vibrant, democratic, and just future for all.
Panelists:
The Rev. Dr. William Barber II is president and senior lecturer of Repairers of the Breach, executive board member of the Christian Church Disciples of Christ, and a professor at Yale Divinity School where he is the founding director of the Center for Public Theology and Public Policy. He is also co-chair of the Poor People's Campaign: A National Call For Moral Revival, a Kettering Foundation senior fellow, and author of White Poverty: How Exposing Myths About Race and Class Can Reconstruct American Democracy.
