The term "Christian Nationalism" has been in the news a lot recently. What do people mean when they use this term? Should we, as Christians, learn more about Christian Nationalism and its historical and current context? How is this philosophy impacting the church today?
The Work for Change Committee of First Presbyterian Church of Richardson, Texas was excited to host speaker Amanda Tyler, the executive director of the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty on April 28th, 2024. As a Matthew 25 congregation of the PCUSA, FPCR thinks it is important to make this presentation widely available and encourage discussions and engagement with this difficult topic.
