Bad faith/Good Faith
The theology of white christian nationalism
Sunday evenings @ 6:00 pm
Sept 8 - Oct 6
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.
