Christian Nationalism
Building on the theological heresy of Christian nationalism, white evangelicalism continues its long history of white supremacy, exclusion, and intolerance. Local institutions and politicians with national reach still committed to this theological and political worldview are poisoning our democracy and skewing the values of faith. Join us as panelists Rev. Aletha Fields, Rev. Jason Crosby, Rev. Derek Penwell, Rev. Maurice Blanchard and others look at this movement’s theology and offer a way forward in light of this dangerous melding of political power and faith.
Co-sponsors for Nonviolence & Anti-racism Sowers Forums and Workshops include The Kentucky Alliance Against Racist and Political Oppression, ASALH Louisville Branch, EmpowerWest, Heart Communication, Fellowship of Reconciliation Louisville Chapter, Interfaith Paths to Peace and others.
Help assure everyone can attend regardless of their ability to pay by donating to support the forum and workshop. Use this Facebook fundraiser link or mail donations to Sowers of Justice Network, PO Box 5541, Louisville KY 40255.

Immigrant Justice Sowers of Justice is a founding partner in the Interfaith Coalition for Immigrant Justice and provides annual fincial and advisory support to the coalition. ICIJ is a coalition of individuals, faith leaders and diverse faith communities called by our conscience and by our context to respond actively and publicly to the suffering of immigrants in our community. Through actions of solidarity and advocacy we use a combination of privilege and personal experience to insist on attitudes and policy that are founded on respect and dignity for immigrants. Through outreach we educate our community about the injustices inflicted by the enforcement of current immigration policies and we provide real opportunities to take action for change. For more information contact Karl Ruttan, Cory Lockhart, or Carolyn King. Pantry Resources for Non-English Speakers click here Take the Nonviolence Survey here with a QR code
