Lancaster Meeting has been under the burden of a concern on this topic, and sent a minute of concern to the Yearly Meeting in 2022.
From Dr. Carey: Christian nationalism is hardly new, but it poses a particular threat to religious freedom and even to democracy in the United States today. This session will explain what Christian nationalism is, why it is dangerous, and how people of good will can respond effectively to it.
