​Oct 2, 9, & 16 at 4:30pm on Zoom

Christian Nationalism, the assertion that the United States is officially a Christian nation and should be governed by explicitly Christian leaders, is not a new movement, but it is receiving increasing attention.
 
To help the community understand this ideology and what is at stake for democracy, First Baptist Church of Pottstown (FBC) will sponsor a three-part online webinar, “Ungodly Union: The Danger of Christian Nationalism” on October 2, 9, and 16 at 4:30pm via Zoom.
 
Developed in cooperation with Word&Way, an award-winning publishing company in Jefferson City, Missouri, the community conversations will examine what Christian Nationalism is, why it is a threat to democracy, and how it is a distortion of the Christian faith.

Oct 2
@ 4:30pm

What Christian Nationalism is all about -​ The phrase "Christian Nationalism" gets thrown around a lot these days. What exactly does it mean and how do we know it when we see it?
​

Oct 9
@ 4:30pm

Why Christian Nationalism threatens democracy - The core convictions espoused by Christian Nationalists violate democratic principles and the U.S. Constitution. We need to understand the danger this ideology poses to our political society.

Oct 16
@ 4:30pm

Why Christian Nationalism threatens the Church - Christian Nationalism distorts basic claims of the Christian faith. Followers of Jesus need to understand why there's nothing Christian about Christian Nationalism.
