Dear friend,

The presence of Christian nationalism in the United States is not new. But in my time with Sojourners, now spanning four decades, I’ve never seen this dangerous ideology spread at such an alarming rate.

In response to this rising threat, the editors of Sojourners have produced a special issue on “Countering Christian Nationalism.” With essays from a dozen theologians, pastors, organizers, and academics, we help explain what Christian nationalism is and why it matters.

Every day seems to bring a new example of Christian language, symbols, and identity being distorted into tools for political manipulation and gain: Attacks on civil rights. Undercutting democratic norms. Endorsing violence to maintain power. Upholding white supremacy. Promoting a politics of fear that mocks the teachings of Jesus and the image of God in each person.

Our writers offer examples of actions to help address this ideology and articulate a path forward that neither stifles the participation of people of faith in public life nor threatens a vibrant, democratic, and just future for all.

“Christian nationalism is the greatest threat to religious liberty in the U.S. today, as well as a clear and present danger to our constitutional republic.”  – Amanda Tyler 
I encourage you to subscribe to Sojourners today to receive this special issue. You are not alone if you are confused, concerned, or dismayed by our country’s political polarization and the way the language of faith has been weaponized. We hope this issue will help you take heart and give you a starting point for important conversations in your community and church.

In solidarity,
Julie Polter
Editor, Sojourners magazine
