SUMMARY:Encountering Christian Nationalism
DESCRIPTION:Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon (EMO) is excited to announce Encountering Christian Nationalism\, a seven-week course about Christian nationalism in our communities. As part of a national project called Faith\, Freedom and the Common Good\, it is administered by the Wisconsin Council of Churches and includes 12 state ecumenical organizations. This course will explore the way Christian nationalism impacts our society\, while trying to better understand the people\, and not just the leaders\, following the rhetoric. \nMeetings will be held weekly on Thursdays\, 7 to 8:30 p.m.\, starting Aug. 8\, 2026. Meetings will not be recorded and attendance at all seven is not mandatory. Please share widely with your communities and register below. \nAbout one-quarter of Oregonians sympathize with Christian nationalist views\, according to data from Pew Research Center’s 2024 American Values Atlas. EMO has been working for years to combat Christian nationalist sentiment in public forums and within faith communities. This course seeks to understand and perhaps undo the damage caused by these movements. \nStructured around the extremely influential movement within Christian nationalism\, the Seven Mountain Mandate\, and primarily discussion-based\, this class will help Oregonians explore the impact of Christian nationalism and polarization in their communities. While rooted in the idea that religious nationalism is inherently dehumanizing\, we will strive to meet in the theological middle ground to rehumanize adherents. Participants will be given the chance to produce reflections through writing\, art and short-form video – both on their personal experiences and on faith communities working towards a common good. The reflections will later be shared by EMO. \nQuestions? Email Frances King\, fking@emoregon.org.
