We are offering a six-week study on the effect of White Christian Nationalism on our Christian faith. Facilitated by Dennis Cox and Andrew Nguyen, this is not a political study, but a theological one. We are looking at the origins of the phenomenon and how it impacts our beliefs and spiritual practices today. The study continues on Zoom on September 8 with a discussion of the movie Bad Faith.  View it on Prime Video or YouTube. Future sessions feature discussions of excerpts from John Fanestil's book  American Heresy, and succinctly quoted material from other authors featured in the study guide we will provide. John Fanestil will conclude our study with a "question and answer" session on Zoom.
