A rising focus on White Christian Nationalism in the past few years has concentrated on statistics and surveys, ideologies and values. But when we get into the heart of this worldview, we encounter fear, loss, scarcity, and grief — some of the very same feelings we also experience in response to the teachings and actions associated with this movement. What would it take for us and for our neighbors to be liberated from the grip of this fear? We’ll consider this question of transformation together, as we learn about possible next steps in a response to White Christian Nationalism.
