Preaching On Christian Nationalism (Proclaim)

Preaching On Christian Nationalism (Proclaim)

375.00
Participants should have a general interest and mild familiarity with the current intersection of religion and politics. We will explore modern evangelical and mainline Protestantism and their relationship to the current authoritarian reactionary political movements growing in our country that are generally considered Christian Nationalism.
 
As an extension of PROJECT PROCLAIM, students will work towards a self-directed capstone project. This course intends to equip, encourage, and inspire leaders to preach about Christian Nationalism during the Easter season or even during the season of Pentecost. You will decide what works for your context. Your final project might be a multi-week sermon series. This can include other creative dimensions, such as surveying your congregation’s thoughts, doing a parallel book study, making a Facebook Reel to engage your community, hosting a community conversation, engaging in interfaith conversations around this topic, etc.
 
Students who successfully complete this 6-week class will be able to understand Christian Nationalism so they can speak and preach about it in intelligent, compassionate, and helpful ways for their congregations and community.

Each week, we will have a number of course activities. These might include discussions on the readings, short writing assignments, movie reflections, listening to podcasts, watching videos, posting media reviews, etc. The specific course activities will vary week to week, according to different themes. All instructions will be provided. Please work in the order that things are presented, as this is intentional in building a cumulative understanding.

The aim of this course is to give you more than you need in a compact a window of time (6 weeks) with a reasonable amount of weekly work (about 3 hours). I recommend that you schedule time for this class each week, so it remains a high priority. As we all know, the demands of Pastoral ministry are constantly challenging and ever changing, so do what you need to ensure you give the proper attention to the course. This course is designed to be fully asynchronous, so there is no specific time you need to be online doing anything. While we will work on a week-by-week basis, you have full freedom within the week to do your work when you like.
