Fairview Satellite: White Christian Nationalism Isn't Christian at All!
This presentation takes a deeper dive into understanding the fundamental agendas of group members who identify as white Christian nationalists. Their philosophy embraces hegemony, winning at all costs, fraudulently represents Christianity, encourages violence, intimidation, xenophobia, misogyny, homophobia, and scapegoating historically marginalized groups. Workshop participation will be encouraged. Strategies to dialogue with a self-identified Christian nationalist will be shared.
While this presentation builds on points discussed in Dr. Baker's August lecture, 'Understanding the Rise of White Christian Nationalism and The Threat it Poses,' having attended that event is not required to attend this one.
Date/Time: Monday, December 9 at 6pm
Location: Lincoln Community Center Library – 1255 Manchester Road, Erie, PA 16505
