Lament, Reflect, Act:
An Interfaith Election Response
Statement Opposing Christian Nationalism
Resources for Further Study
Justice Advocates hosted a powerful Zoom session just after the 2024 election focused on seeking answers to lingering significant questions: How do those of us that are suffering recover? How do we deal with our fear and uncertainty? How do we interact with those folks with whom we disagree? What do we do now?
The evening featured voices from four distinct faith traditions:
-
Rev. Dr. David A. Jones, Williams Memorial Baptist Church, Roanoke
-
Rabbi Kathy Cohen, Temple Emanuel, Roanoke
-
The Honorable Sam Rasoul, Delegate 38th District (Muslim)
-
Jim Borling, Heart of the Blue Ridge Sangha, Buddhist​
-
Deacon Jon Greene (moderator), Episcopal Diocese of Southwest Virginia
Bad Faith: Christian Nationalism's Unholy War on Democracy (2024) is an excellent resource for understanding the historical and political background of this movement that is now entrenched in the halls of power.
