As more political leaders are naming themselves as Christian Nationalists, and evoking far-right Christian imagery and rhetoric in their political speeches, we ask: what is Christian Nationalism, and why is it a threat? In this conversation, we will dig into the history of the movement, the myths that perpetuate it, and the current political trends that evoke concern. We will also explore ways Christians can take action to counter the movement, and how we can foster Christian communities rooted in inclusion, interconnection, and justice.
