Christian Nationalism and the Rise of Authoritarianism | February 12, 2026

Описание: Join us for a timely public panel examining Christian Nationalism and the Rise of Authoritarianism in the United States. As religious language and identity are increasingly mobilized to justify exclusion, political violence, and the erosion of democratic norms, this event will explore how Christian nationalism functions, why it has gained power, and what faithful resistance looks like in this moment. The discussion will offer historical insight, theological reflection, and practical pathways for reclaiming a faith rooted in democracy, pluralism, and the common good with Dr. Matthew Taylor, visiting scholar the Center on Faith and Justice and Rev. Dr. Leslie Copeland, Senior Associate General Secretary & Advocacy Director and The National Council of the Churches of Christ.
