From “The False White Gospel: Rejecting Christian Nationalism, Reclaiming True Faith, and Refounding Democracy” by Jim Wallis
Today’s racism is the resurgence of the old ideology combined with the return of an old heresy. That is the false gospel of white Christian nationalism. Its very name spells its heresy – “white” instead of the diverse human calling the message of the gospel makes; “Christian” but implying domination instead of service; and “nationalism” which is contrary to Jesus’ Great Commission, where he tells his followers to go into all the world and make disciples in every nation.
White Christian nationalism doesn’t cross lines, it creates them. It seeks to divide us, leading this country down a path that starts with fear, that turns to hate, and ultimately leads to violence. White Christian nationalism defies what Jesus says about loving our neighbor, and even our enemies.
