Adult Discussion Group: The False White Gospel by Jim Wallis, Thursdays May 2-June 20, 7-8:15 pm on Zoom.It is time, says Jim Wallis, to call out genuine faith—specifically the “Christian” in white Christian nationalism—inviting all who can be persuaded to reject and help dismantle a false gospel that propagates white supremacy and autocracy. We need to raise up the faith of all of us, and help those who are oblivious, stuck, and captive to ideology and idolatry.Wallis turns our attention to six iconic texts at the heart of what genuine biblical faith means and what Jesus, in the gospels, has called us to do. It is time to ask anew: Do we believe these teachings or not? When we see a civic promotion of fear, hate, and violence, we need a civic faith of love, healing, and hope to defeat it. And that must involve all of us—religious or not. Learning to practice a politics of neighbor love will be central to the future of democracy in America.More than ever, the words of Jesus ring, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”Jim Wallis is Georgetown University”s inaugural holder of the Archbishop Desmond Tutu Chair in Faith and Justice, and the director of its new Center on Faith and Justice. He is the author of multiple New York Times bestselling books. He was a founder and longtime leader of the Sojourners community and magazine in Washington, D.C.The book can be found at Amazon or most bookstores. It is also available in Audible and Kindle formats. John Paddock has extra copies to either borrow or buy. In our first session on May 2 we will cover the Forward, Introduction, and Chapter One. Participants should notify John Paddock of their intent to participate by contacting him at priest@stchrisfairborn.org. He will send a Zoom link.
