SUMMARY:Faith & DemocracySimi Valley\, CA
DESCRIPTION:Whether you are a person of faith\, a concerned citizen\, or an advocate for social justice\, this event will provide a platform for dialogue\, education\, and action. Together\, we can work towards safeguarding the principles of democracy\, religious freedom\, and the separation of church and state. \nHosted by Vote Common Good and The Greater Things Foundation this seminar aims to shed light on the intersection of faith\, politics\, and the dangers posed by the rise of Christian nationalism. \nChristian nationalism\, a political ideology that seeks to merge Christianity with the governance of the nation\, has gained significant traction in recent years. It presents a unique challenge to the principles of democracy and religious freedom\, as it seeks to establish a narrow and exclusionary version of Christianity as the dominant force in shaping public policy. \nDuring this event\, we will explore the historical context and current manifestations of Christian nationalism in the United States. We will delve into its impact on democratic institutions\, religious pluralism\, and social justice. Experts and activists will share their insights and experiences\, providing a comprehensive understanding of the threat posed by Christian nationalism and its implications for our society. \nPlease join us:

SUMMARY:Faith & DemocracyCharlotte\, NC
DESCRIPTION:The InterFaith Caucus presents “Faith & Democracy: How We Got Here and What’s Next\,” an insightful\, nonpartisan conversation with guest speakers: Nancy MacLean\, the William H. Chafe Professor of History and Public Policy at Duke University; academic and investigative journalist Anne Nelson\, winner of the Guggenheim and Bellagio Fellowships\, and instructor in the Columbia University School of Journalism; Katherine Stewart\, also an acclaimed journalist\, whose work on religion and politics regularly appears in the New York Times\, the Washington Post\, the Atlantic\, and other publications; and Obery Hendricks\, a Distinguished Senior Fellow at The Democracy Collaborative in Washington\, DC\, and Visiting Scholar in the Department of Religion at Columbia University.  \nCo-moderated by Interfaith Caucus officers Reverend Dr. Paul A. McAllister and Ms. Aabia Saeed\, the discussion will focus on how decades of religious extremism\, radio\, TV\, and digital media propaganda\, and dark money in the political operating space put Democracy at risk in North Carolina and the United States\, and how faith in Democratic institutions is reliant upon unbiased citizen education and voter engagement. Attendees will be allotted time to address the speakers during a brief Q&A\, followed by a book signing session with the speakers. The 90-minute event is open to all registered persons.
