Book Discussion on Christian Nationalism

The Christian Church in Georgia is hosting a summer book discussion on Christian Nationalism on August 26, from 7-8 pm, and continuing every 2nd and 4th Tuesday evening through 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.

Reconciliation Virtual Town Hall #2

As Disciples, we have been on a long journey toward racial reconciliation, one that is more urgent following the tragic events and devastating loss of life experienced in 2020. Where do we go from here in the struggle toward racial justice? And how can we approach the task of reconciliation in a new era? From these questions that shape our work, our Georgia Disciples Reconciliation Commission is holding a series of Virtual Town Halls committed to these principles:

•    Reconciliation is having difficult conversations.

•    Reconciliation is sharing stories.

•    Reconciliation is doing the work.

•    Reconciliation is sharing the pain and joys of another person who thinks differently than you.

•    Reconciliation is praying together.

You’re invited to join with us in this work in any or all of these Town Halls, part of the Upgrade Thursdays programming for 2021. Learn more and get ZOOM link here.
