With growing concern over the Christian Nationalist movement, a mix of local clergy and lay leaders are inviting others to gather, learn, and envision opportunities for collective action.
All sessions will be held at Nativity Lutheran Church in Saint Anthony Village (3312 Silver Lake Rd., Saint Anthony, MN 55418). Sessions will also be available on Zoom and will be recorded for future viewing.
Please RSVP in advance to ensure seating and to receive follow-up materials and next steps resulting from the discussions and planning.
Sunday, October 8th, 9:00-10:00 am CST
Learn what Christian Nationalism is and how it’s being used to promote a national ideology that has nothing to do with Jesus’ teachings about love. Breakout groups will facilitate discussion during the presentation. Light refreshments will be served.

Come together to discuss how we, as one body of Christ from the ELCA and beyond, will show up and take loving, collective action. We’ll share ways we can offer and demonstrate a true-to-scripture, Jesus-based narrative to counter Christian Nationalism.
