Overview

An urgent call for awareness of the dangers of Christian nationalism, including the origins and implications. In 2022, Bishop Curry charged the House of Bishops Theology Committee to study Christian nationalism, an issue that has increasingly come to the forefront of conversations surrounding Christianity, democracy and white supremacy. The committee's methodology in an Anglican framework of scripture, tradition, reason, and liturgy sheds light on the foundation of the movement and a path forward. They argue that it is sinful and violates the first and second of the Ten Commandments. Through careful examination of Christian nationalism, the Theology Committee warns members of the church not to fall into its trap, but instead to be a light to the world. Spanish translation of the report, case study, and discussion guide included. Una llamada urgente sobre los peligros del nacionalismo cristiano, con una gua de discusin.
