Faith in the Time of Monsters, Day 1 of Symposium on Christian Nationalism, Friday September 5th at First Church 

On Friday, Sept 5th, First Church is hosting the first day of the Faith in the Time of Monsters International Symposium on White Christian Nationalism, presented by Valley and Mountain United Methodist Church’s Center for Faith, Art, and Justice and several ecumenical co-sponsors. This ecumenical symposium will feature speakers from across the United States and the Global South with aims to address and combat the growing influence of right-wing Christian nationalism within our communities and faith traditions. Additionally, a significant component of this gathering will also include nonviolence training, equipping our community with the skills for GOTV efforts, and a post-election strategy. It will include a workshop on Rapid Response Organizing and Sustainable Resistance, a Panel on Christian Nationalism Locally and Globally, and a Panel on What Can and Must Be Done.
