SUMMARY:Philosophy Study Group
DESCRIPTION:We will continue discussing the book\, Caste: The Origins of our Discontents\, by Isabel Wilkerson\, by reading Sections 3 and 4. In these sections Wilkerson gets into the heart of how caste operates\, and it’s not very pretty. We hope that you can join us. All of our regulars should be there\, but some of us are not very pretty either. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Christian Nationalism: A Dangerous Manifestation of a Deeper Problem
DESCRIPTION:Christian Nationalism is a political ideology and movement that understands the United States as founded as a White Protestant Evangelical Christian Nation. They believe secular liberal democracy has failed God’s America by taking their version of Christianity out of government and the public schools\, tolerated ethnic\, religious\, and sexual diversity\, and enabled the decline of Christianity in America.\n\nThe result is decadence\, decline\, and division in their understanding of God’s America. White Evangelical Christian Nationalists are called by God to restore righteousness in America. That means that the United States should be declared a Christian Nation according to their understanding of Christian. White Evangelical Protestant Christians and their churches should be restored to their rightful privileged position\, and the rule of law in America and in public education should be guided by conservative evangelical Christian beliefs and values. How did this movement come about and is it the future of America? Should we fear it or see it as an expression of the beliefs of one of many groups in this country? Do we see positive value in at least part of its message? Why is Christian Nationalism such a force in politics and thought? \nGrant Abbott\, former executive director of the Saint Paul Area Council of Churches\, is an Episcopal priest. He’s the convener of the “Real American History Book Group: Learning the Whole Story.” He lives in St. Paul
