Book DiscussionTuesday November 106:00 pm – 7:30 pmBook Discussion
Come join Ann Green and Kris Niendorf for a book discussion on How to End Christian Nationalism by Amanda Tyler. We will discuss this book in three sessions on November 10, 17 and 24 from 6-7:30pm in the conference room and via Zoom (use the Sunday Forum link from the website). While it is not mandatory to read the book, it is recommended. Here are some teasers from the introduction in the book:
He has told you, O mortal what is good, and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice and to love kindness and to walk humbly with your God? (Micah 6:8)
Doing justice in a world rife with injustice and inequality is a never-ending task. Loving kindness recalls the centrality of human relationship to life and of Jesus’s commandment to show love for God by showing love for our neighbors. Walking humbly both acknowledges our humanity and imperfection and reminds us that we are never alone in this work. God is with us. (p 4 Kindle)
We will not end Christian nationalism if Christians do not actively work to dismantle it: to rid it from ourselves, our congregations, and our larger communities. (p 3 Kindle)
Christianity is not what unites us as Americans. Belonging in our society must never depend on how (or if) we worship, what we believe (or don’t), or how we identify (or don’t religiously. If anyone tries to tell you that confronting Christian nationalism is somehow anti-Christian, do not believe them. (p 20 Kindle)
If this intrigues you come join us. We know the discussion will be interesting because of you
