A group of Tarrant County civic organizations, including the League of Women Voters, will host a panel discussion on the influence of Christian nationalism on local government. The event, titled ‘Faith, Freedom, and Democracy,’ aims to educate voters about the role of Christian nationalism in shaping state and local policies.
Event Details
The panel discussion will take place on August 8 at Broadway Baptist Church in Fort Worth. The event is free and open to the public. According to Janet Mattern, president of the League of Women Voters of Tarrant County, the event is a response to concerns about the ‘gutting of voting rights’ and the elimination of diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in local government.
Christian nationalism refers to the belief that the United States is a country defined by Christianity, and that the government should advocate for Christian values and pass laws reflecting those values. The Freedom Forum, a nonpartisan nonprofit, defines Christian nationalism as a movement that seeks to undermine the separation of church and state.
The panel discussion will feature faith leaders, election experts, and free speech advocates. Attendees will also have the opportunity to learn about how to become civically engaged on issues related to Christian nationalism.
