Dr. Julie Ingersoll presents
“Christian Nationalism 101”
Kris Kines, Worship leader
Dr. Gary Smart, Accompanist
Linda Minke (Cello), Guest Musician
What is it and how does it relate (or not) to other forms of Christianity
NOTE: Dr. Ingersoll will return to the chancel after fellowship at NOON for more information on this timely topic with “Christian Nationalism 102″
She will dig deeper into the forms of Christianity that make up Christian Nationalism, where they coalesce and why the contractions don’t matter. And, if there’s time, what that shows us about “religion.”
(extended childcare will be provided)
