July 4: Preach and Pray to Confront Christian Nationalism

Patriotism is good. Faith is good. Yet even on Independence Day, they are not the same thing, and they should never be blended and abused to become tools of empire, theocracy, or right-wing oppression.

This Fourth of July, Faithful America is launching our second-annual sermon and prayer drive against Christian nationalism. On both Sunday, June 30, and Sunday, July 7, hundreds of Christian preachers across the country will take a stand against the hijacking of our faith.

Together, we will reject hatred, political violence, Christofascism, and the hijacking of Jesus's name for partisan politics -- and in their place take a prophetic, Christ-like stance for peace, faith, hope, and love.

Take the pledge to Preach or Pray against Christian nationalism during your church's services on June 30 or July 7 below now, and Faithful America will send you helpful liturgical and lectionary resources to aid you in this work.
