Cross-posting this Peace Catalyst International workshop from September 2025 (source):
The soul of the church in America is in crisis.
Throughout our congregations, harmful theologies have taken root that fuse religious and political identities together. Whether from the pulpit, the pews, or a politician’s mouth, Christian nationalism—the belief that America should and must be a Christian country—is corrupting our churches and society. And because this nationalism is so entwined with other harmful forms of domination and social hierarchy-based ideologies—white supremacy, Christian Zionism, religious fundamentalism, authoritarianism, and more—our parishioners and communities are suffering as a result.
What can be done? How can we name and uproot Christian nationalism in our congregations, lead and disciple our churches to resist its influence, and begin to heal the bodies and souls of those it has harmed?
Join authors, scholars, and experts on the study of Christian nationalism Rev. Angela Denker and Dr. Drew Strait to learn how churches and church members are being harmed, how the political and religious landscape has changed in the past year, and how pastors, leaders, and concerned Christians can respond with courage and care.

What does it mean to follow Jesus when faith is used to justify domination, nationalism, or exclusion? And how might Christians embody a different way—the way of peace, solidarity, and hope? Three Peace Catalyst team members, rooted in very different contexts, discuss these topics in this webinar.

Reviving the Golden Rule
In a time of toxic polarization, the rights and protections for our beloved neighbors being demolished, genocide, war and oppression across the globe — in face of fear and insecurity — how can Christ’s teaching of neighbor-love offer a path toward a just, flourishing, and reconciled future?
