SUMMARY:American Christian Nationalism\, Christian Zionism\, and Islamophobia: Examining our Cultural and Theological Frameworks
DESCRIPTION:Christian Nationalism is not new and has found many forms throughout the history of the Church\, from Armenia to Russia to Germany and to the U.S. However\, American Christian Nationalism is built upon a cultural and theological view of Americans as “exceptional” and America as a “New Zion.” \nThis five-week online series will examine the current overlapping forms of American Christian Nationalism\, Christian Zionism\, Antisemitism\, and Anti -Muslim bigotry. We will examine the cultural framework for these public ideologies and their biblical and theological roots not only within the “Christian Right” but also “Mainline” traditions. The series is intended for religious leaders who are interested in providing guidance for their congregations and local communities. CEU certificate available.

SUMMARY:Changing by Choice
DESCRIPTION:If we know what we need to do\, why do we fail to do it? \nThis study invites us to apply this age-old question of faith to the problem of climate change. The study features videos recorded at the global climate negotiations in November 2025 and introduces the Global Ethical Stocktake\, a discussion framework developed in 2025 to guide a global conversation on the ethics of climate change. With grace and urgency\, this study will open space to ask hard questions and gain insights into the issue of climate change—and our responsibilities to each other. \nChanging by Choice considers climate change as it intersects with other core concerns for faith communities\, including hunger; migration; disaster response; and violent conflict. And\, using the Global Ethical Stocktake framework\, it brings your group into conversation with people in local communities around the world. \nJoin the discussion by registering on eventbrite at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1979825213509.
