Book Study: Understanding The Psychology of Christian Nationalism
October 27 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Beginning in October, join the Racial Justice and Healing Committee for a three-session book study on The Psychology of Christian Nationalism by Pamela Cooper-White. Sessions will follow a curriculum written by the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles, Tackling the Truths of a Toxic Movement.
In three short chapters, Cooper-White uncovers the troubling extent of Christian nationalism, explores its deep psychological roots, and discusses ways in which advocates for justice can safely and effectively attempt to talk across the deep divides in our society.
Meetings will be held on Tuesdays Oct 13, Oct 27 and Nov 10 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on Zoom and will include discussion of related questions. Each session will be focused on a different chapter of the book. This book study filled up fast when offered over the summer and spaces truly are limited so sign up soon. This book can really help us prepare for those challenging Thanksgiving dinner conversations!
People who participated in this book study over the summer are welcome to join us as leaders of the small group discussions.
Copies of the book may be purchased on Bookshop.org or at your preferred book seller.
You do not need to attend every session to participate, but registration is required. Register online.
Note, Zoom links and discussion questions will be distributed to registrants ahead of each meeting.
This is a great activity for constellations. Clergy and lay leaders are encouraged to share this event with their congregations to promote us doing this important work together. Download the promotional materials.
Contact the Ven. Susan McMillan, chair of the committee, with questions.
