SUMMARY:"Bad Faith" Community Screening
DESCRIPTION:At a moment when many Americans are looking for clarity\, balance\, and a deeper understanding of the forces shaping our democracy\, you’re invited to a free community screening of the 2026 updated edition of Bad Faith: Christian Nationalism’s Unholy War on Democracy. This new release reflects the outcome of the 2024 election and examines the role of Project 2025 as the governing blueprint for the current administration offering context that anyone on the political spectrum–conservatives\, moderates\, independents\, and progressives alike–may find thought‑provoking as we head toward another pivotal election season. \nJoin us on Thursday\, September 3\, 2026\, at New Hope Baptist Church (3701 Colorado Boulevard\, Denver\, CO 80205). Doors open at 6:00 p.m.\, and the program begins promptly at 6:30 p.m. \nAfter the screening\, we’ll host an open Q&A and close with practical\, nonpartisan actions you can take to stay informed and engaged in the months ahead. Whether you’re concerned about the direction of the country\, committed to protecting democratic institutions\, or simply seeking a fuller picture of today’s political landscape\, this event offers a thoughtful space for conversation. \nFree and open to the public. \nPlease register at https://tinyurl.com/CCCBadFaith \nCommunity Sponsors: \n\n\n\n\nVisible Denver\nMountain Sky Conference\, United Methodist Church\nPrinciples Over Party Colorado\nTogether Colorado

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
