SUMMARY:What Every Christian Leader Should Know about Christian Nationalism Before the Election
DESCRIPTION:Over the past few election cycles\, Christian nationalism has become a powerful force\, shaping discourse in American political life across school boards\, college campuses\, legislative races and more. Groups like Turning Point USA\, Proud Boys\, NSC-131\, among others\, have gained power and influence in local communities\, including churches\, in both explicit and subtle ways. As of this year\, nearly 1/3 of Americans identify as Christian Nationalists. \nHow can Christian leaders identify these various ideologies\, tactics\, and recruitment strategies in our communities?  How do we respond effectively? As a corrupt ideology in support of authoritarianism\, Christian nationalism is not new in the United States \, but these current forces require us to learn the new ways they are being deployed.   \nJoin the experts at the Western States Center and your hosts the Massachusetts Council of Churches as we learn together and discuss what can be done in our local settings. Our expert presenters will share how the tactics of Christian Nationalists manifested in not only faith organizing\, but in education\, elections\, and general community engagement. For the safety and security of our participants\, this online event will not be recorded\, and registration is required. Please join us as we strategize to spread Christ’s true message of love and unity for all. \nRegister for this FREE event HERE. \n

In the stillness\, before the sun rises\, hearts turn toward the empty tomb and the promise that Christ is risen indeed. \nFor nearly 80 years\, the Colorado Council of Churches has offered this free Easter Sunrise Service\, hosting a sacred moment when worship\, creation\, and the hope of resurrection meet. Here\, surrounded by God’s handiwork\, thousands lift their voices in praise\, seeking renewal\, strength\, and the presence of the risen Lord. \nWe need your help to keep this ministry of hope free and open to all. Rising costs make it increasingly difficult to sustain this powerful tradition\, and we are prayerfully seeking $35\,000 to ensure it continues for generations to come. Our suggested donation is $10 per person. We’re grateful for whatever amount God places on your heart to give. \nAs a token of our gratitude\, donors who contribute $250 or more will receive reserved seating for two and a reserved parking space. With a $500 gift\, you will enjoy reserved seating for four and a reserved parking space. These gifts of appreciation are our way of saying thank you for helping make this sacred celebration possible.  Do not make an ANONYMOUS DONATION above $250 and you want seating and parking\, you must email st***@********es.org and provide us with your name. Without your name\, Red Rocks security won’t give you access to reserved parking and seating. \nIf this sunrise has ever stirred your spirit\, or if you believe in sharing the hope of the resurrection with the world\, we invite you to help sustain this meaningful tradition. \nClick HERE to make a gift to keep this Easter tradition alive.\nA portion of the money raised above our $35\,000 goal will be donated to: \n  \nWe’d love your feedback!
