We need to protect each other’s right to live and worship as we believe.

“Remember, the greatest evils are not done by people who believe that what they do is wicked, but by those who believe that what they do is righteous!” (Jesus and the Powers, N.T. Wright & Michael Bird, pg. 148). I fear this notion of Christian Nationalism. It has a deep and strong foothold in America, especially among political organizations that seek the blind assistance of Church leaders and folks. Churches have become blinded by their ego needs for a place at the political table of decision making. The USA is a nation of plural religious bodies, Muslims, Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, etc. We are also a variety of nationalities, skin color, languages, etc. We are not only a white, English speaking, Christian nation. We need to protect each other’s right to live and worship as we believe.
