Preachers to Stand Up to ‘Hijacking’ of Faith by Christian Nationalists – By Kaitlin Lewis (Newsweek) / June3, 2023
Christian organizations are calling on pastors across the country to stand up against the rise of Christian nationalism during their church services next weekend.
The “Preach and Pray to Confront Christian Nationalism” initiative is the latest event sponsored by Faithful America, an online community of progressive Christians that aim to combat the use of their faith being “hijacked” by the political right. The group recently protested a high-profile conservative speaker event in Miami, Florida, and has taken a public stand against several Republican politicians, including Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, who previously defended Christian nationalism, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
Faithful America’s newest initiative is aimed at taking a stand within the church building next, calling on pastors to “warn against effort to conflate Christian and American identities” while leading service on June 11.
