It's Sunday

More than 200 faith leaders in the evangelical Christian movement signed on to a letter this week decrying "Christian Nationalism" and its role in the Jan. 6 riot that overwhelmed the U.S. Capitol.

A letter released Wednesday on saynotochristiannationalism.org describes Christian nationalism as "a version of American nationalism that is trying to camouflage itself as Christianity," which the church leaders said was "a heretical version of our faith."

[...]

"Just as many Muslim leaders have felt the need to denounce distorted, violent versions of their faith, we feel the urgent need to denounce this violent mutation of our faith," they continued.

Signees of the letter include some prominent megachurch leaders including David Swaim of the Highrock Covenant Church and Rev. Kevin Riggs of the Franklin Community Church, as well as Jerushah Duford, granddaughter of the late Rev. Billy Graham.
