“Christian Nationalism: American Democracy’s Looming Threat” (Photo – Americans United for Separation of Church and State)
Participate in a discussion about why Christian Nationalism means that it has never been more crucial to uphold church-state separation and protect democracy.
The separation of church and state allows us to come together, despite our differences, to forge a stronger democracy. It protects freedom and equality for all. But emboldened Christian Nationalists have launched a frenzied assault on this foundational principle in their crusade to force everyone to live by their beliefs.
Actor & Activist Bradley Whitford will moderate “Christian Nationalism: American Democracy’s Looming Threat,” a discussion that will feature a panel including:
- Rachel Laser, Americans United for Separation of Church and State president & CEO.
- Rev. Traci Blackmon, AU Board of Trustees member and former Associate General Minister of Justice and Local Church Ministries for the United Church of Christ.
- Eddie Tabash, Esq., AU Board of Trustees member, constitutional lawyer, expert in church-state separation, and atheist advocate.
- Rev. Mike Kinman, rector of All Saints Episcopal Church in Pasadena.
- Salam al-Marayati, president and co-founder of the Muslim Public Affairs Council.
- Rabbi Susan Goldberg, founder of Nefesh, a progressive spiritual community in Los Angeles’ Eastside.
This free event is open to the public and co-hosted by the All Saints Episcopal Church and Americans United for Separation of Church and State. After the panel, there will be a short Q&A with the presenters, followed by a cocktail reception with light refreshments.
