The Georgetown University Center on Faith and Justice hosted three religious experts for a panel discussion examining the consequences of the proliferation of white Christian nationalism ahead of the November midterm elections.
The Oct. 26 panel featured Reverend Michael B. Curry, the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, Amanda Tyler (SFS ’00), the executive director of the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty and Samuel Perry, an associate professor in the department of sociology at the University of Oklahoma. The Center on Faith and Justice director, Reverend Jim Wallis, moderated the discussion.
From 2012 to 2021, right-wing extremists, most of whom were white nationalists, committed almost 75% of the murders that were classified as domestic terrorism in the U.S. At the same time, an Oct. 27 Pew Research survey found that more than half of U.S. adults have not heard or read anything about Christian nationalism.
