The Urgent Crisis of Christian Nationalism: A Virtual Community Town Hall

Sunday, Nov. 16  |  1:00 pm - 2:30 pm  |  Zoom  -  

St. John’s Faith and Democracy Ministry invites you to join a candid discussion with two renowned experts on the Christian Nationalist movement at a Virtual Community Town Hall on Sunday, November 16, 2025, from 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm.

Katherine Stewart is an award-winning journalist and author of several books about anti-democratic movements in the United States.  Most recently, she authored a New York Times bestseller, Money, Lies and God: Inside the Movement to Destroy American Democracy, which is also this month’s selection by St. John’s Pro-Democracy Book Club.  You can purchase it locally here and here.  

The second, Episcopal Bishop Allen Shin, spearheaded The Episcopal House of Bishops’ seminal report, The Crisis of Christian Nationalism, which uses a framework of scripture, tradition, reason and liturgy to shed light on the foundations of the movement, the distortions that drive it, the related dangers we face today, and a hopeful path forward.  You can order it locally here and here

This webinar discussion will be moderated by the Rev. Dr. Sari Ateek and will focus on the research and conclusions reached by these two experts, as well as on the role of citizens of all faiths to counter the ongoing rise of Christian Nationalism.
