From “The False White Gospel: Rejecting Christian Nationalism, Reclaiming True Faith, and Refounding Democracy” by Jim Wallis
The success of any movement depends on knowing the difference between who can be persuaded and who must be defeated – nonviolently, but definitively in the national narrative and at the ballot box. The wealthy and powerful who “win at all costs,” the political operative who are manipulating people for their own autocratic, racist, and economic ends must be fought and defeated in moral debates and in critical elections even now before us. But there are also many people whom I pray we can help set free from their blindness and fear; with an empathetic call to recognize and reclaim their faith and seek to love their neighbors not as “others,” but as other children of God. This book is for anyone willing to move into a deeper conversation about faith and willing to take that crucial faith discussion to all those you know and love who may be willing to hear.
