Seven Deadly Sins of White Christian Nationalism - A Call to Action

As right-wing conservatives dare to call themselves Christians while tearing down equality and justice and fanning the flames of fascism in America, Carter Heyward issues a call to action for true lovers of God. Only by condemning the destructive culture of white Christian nationalism can we fashion a world full of God’s truth, love, and wisdom.
