Angela Denker “The Threat of Christian Nationalism: Rebuilding Trust in the Age of Fear”

Join ELCA Pastor and Red State Christians and Disciples of White Jesus author Angela Denker to discuss the growing popularity and influence of American white Christian Nationalism, especially its influence on the upcoming presidential election. Pastor Angela has been researching white Christian Nationalism since 2018 as a reporter, pastor, and theologian. During this event, Pastor Angela will help us define Christian Nationalism in theological terms, understand its roots and how it’s being weaponized in American politics, as well as how to use the Theology of the Cross as a tool of resistance against Christian Nationalism. Pastor Angela will be interviewed by St. Olaf Professor and Chair of Philosophy Dr. Mike Fuerstein and is open to all St. Olaf students, staff and faculty and to the wider community.

This event features a complementary dinner capped at 120 participants. Please RSVP for either portion of the event here.
