Book Discussion on Christian Nationalism
The Christian Church in Georgia is hosting a summer book discussion on Christian Nationalism every 2nd and 4th Tuesday evening which concludes September 9, 2025.
According to the organization Christians Against Christian Nationalism, Christian nationalism is “a political ideology and cultural framework that merges American and Christian identities. Christian Nationalism threatens American democracy, distorts America's promise of religious freedom for all, and distorts Christianity by taking its central message as a gospel of love and turning it into a false idol of power.” Learn more about Christian nationalism from this list of resources curated by the Christian Church in Georgia.
Several Georgia Disciples clergy-scholars, including Rev. Dr. Jerry Gladson, Rev. Dr. Jarrod Longbons, Rev. Dr. Stan Saunders, and Rev. Dr. Darryl Trimiew, will be leading this series of virtual meetings in June. Contact the Regional Office for the zoom link.
