What to Discuss During Election Week?

What does one discuss on Substack the week of a presidential election (in the USA)? Not the election. We hope to provide a generous distraction from the election, even if one of the days a topic is the problem of Christian nationalism. I hope you find a place to relax and chill during the week … and breathe.

So, on Monday, we turn to Drew Strait’s proposals for countering Christian nationalism. What can Christians (non-CN sorts) do to counter the “strange worship” generated by CN?

When a sociologist declares “we were all wrong” about how to understand religion and evangelicalism by examining a particular issue (adoption and foster care) and how the adoption movement’s self-explanations illustrate the wrong-headedness of so many … and admits nearly everyone was mistaken, we’d like to know what he thinks.

Wednesday we turn again to Heather Matthews’ Confronting Sexism in the Church by taking a closer look at the sexism at work among leaders.

Thursday a guest post on Invisible Jesus, and the disruptions of Jesus.

Join us, and I hope our discussions can offer some relief from the tensions of a divisive election.
