Justice for All

Sunday, February 4th

Faced in a time of rising fascism and Christian Nationalism, we must attend to our democracy. These next few months we are hosting a series of workshops and events to keep us aware and united in our work. Please join us! And if you might be interested in planning vigils, rallies or workshops, please let Rev. Nancy know!

Sunday, Feb. 18th 11:45-1:00 10 Tactics of Fascism. We will watch a 10 minutes video from Jason Stanley about fascism. If you have time beforehand to read his book How Fascism Works, that would be good, but this video gives an overview of his major points. We will follow with a discussion.

Sunday, March 3 & 17th 2 part workshop with CB Beale identifying Christian Nationalism. If you have time to read Tim Alberta's book The Kingdom, The Power and the Glory beforehand, it would be a good introduction to these workshops.
