Unitarians meeting the urgent challenge of Christian nationalism
Workshop Leader:
Dr Stephen Backhouse
When, where:
Saturday 21 February at Rosslyn Hill Chapel, Hampstead
At the next PocketFUSE event we’ll seek answers to these urgent questions:
Christian nationalism is on the rise, but what exactly is it?
Christian nationalism has been described as ‘far-right nationalist politics cosplaying as piety’.
How can Unitarians push back against this misappropriation of Christianity by a divisive far-right agenda?
How can caring people find powerful, peaceful ways to tackle this challenge and bring about a world of love and inclusion, not one of ‘us and them’?
If you want to learn techniques of engagement and workshop the skills needed to meet the challenges of Christian nationalism sign up NOW for this essential and timely PocketFUSE!
This event is free. Only 40 places available so be sure to book early.
Dr Stephen Backhouse
The day will be led by Dr Stephen Backhouse, a prominent figure in the fields of political philosophy and social theology.
Dr Backhouse has spent many years writing about and resisting religious nationalism. He is well placed to help us understand the dangers it poses and to find a coherent, effective response.
