SUMMARY:The Global Rise of Religious Nationalism: Implications & the Church’s Response
DESCRIPTION:Religious Nationalism occurs when a religious tradition\, political agenda\, and national loyalty combine to harm those of different faiths. By privileging one community and discriminating against others\, it can lead to oppression\, violence\, and social exclusion\, especially targeting people of other religions or ethnicities. This misuse of religion undermines society and obscures its positive contributions. \nJoin us for this important dialogue as we seek to better understand the global realities of Religious Nationalism and discern how the church called to respond. \nReligious Nationalism is not only shaping political and religious landscapes in the United States—it is emerging as a powerful force in countries around the world. How is this movement spreading globally? What theological\, political\, and social dynamics are fueling it? And how are churches called to respond? \nThe United Church of Christ welcomes Rev. Phillip Peacock\, General Secretary of the World Communion of Reformed Churches\, a leader in global ecumenism\, justice advocacy\, and Reformed theology. Drawing on his international experience\, Rev. Peacock will examine how Religious Nationalism appears in different cultural contexts around the globe\, while Rev. Karen Georgia Thompson will provide perspective on its impact in the United States.
