Join us as we read and discuss Executive Director of the Baptist Joint Committee, Amanda Tyler’s book, How to End Christian Nationalism. Our first Wednesday night will be January 22 from 6:30 – 7:30 PM on Zoom and will continue until the end of February. If you would like a book, please see Pastor Joanne, Eliecia, or Janet.
The description of the book on the Baptist Joint Committee’s website: bjconline.org.
How to End Christian Nationalism The essential guidebook for Christians alarmed by the rising tide of Christian nationalism yet unsure how to counter it.
Christian nationalism is a powerful and pervasive ideology, and it is becoming normalized.
How to End Christian Nationalism by Amanda Tyler is your vital companion for countering it. The book shows you how to distinguish Christian nationalism from the teachings of Jesus and to demonstrate how the former perpetuates white supremacy. It also unpacks key truths we can share with others:
Patriotism is not the same as nationalism. Religious freedom means little if it’s not for everyone. Christians follow a gospel of love, not the idol of power.
Tyler, lead organizer of the Christians Against Christian Nationalism campaign, draws on her experiences, conversations with pastors and laypeople, research, Scripture, her Baptist convictions, and her work as a constitutional law expert to help us confront this fervor.
