BJC’s FaithFULL Community of monthly donors is full of individuals who are passionate about religious liberty and want to support the work that we do. In this spotlight, Cassandra Lawrence shares more about her work and why she supports BJC.
Since its beginning in 2019, Christians Against Christian Nationalism has been a grassroots movement of Christians standing against Christian nationalism. This dangerous ideology is a daunting and complex issue, so BJC has identified four priority areas where we can make the most difference.
How can we best understand the overlap of white supremacy and Christian nationalism? The Rev. Dr. Jonathan C. “Jay” Augustine joins Amanda and Holly for a wide-ranging conversation during Black History Month as we explore the way Christian nationalism devalues Blackness in our country. A pastor, preacher, lawyer and author, Dr. Augustine shares the differences between racial discrimination and ethnic discrimination we see throughout American history as well as the polarization and “otherism” we see today. He also reviews the various methods of reconciliation and what we all can learn from the Black Church as we seek to envision a just society and embrace a fuller understanding of religious freedom, including its ability to liberate.
