Condemning Christian Nationalism's Role in the January 6th Insurrection
Evangelical Leaders Statement
Condemning Christian Nationalism's role in the January 6 Insurrection
As leaders in the broad evangelical community, we recognize and condemn the role Christian Nationalism played in the violent, racist, anti-American insurrection at the United States Capitol on January 6.
While we come from varied backgrounds and political stances, we stand together against the perversion of the Christian faith as we saw on January 6, 2021. We also stand against the theology and the conditions that led to the insurrection.
Our faith will not allow us to remain silent at such a time as this. We are also aware that our world needs more than a statement right now… we need action. We will do our best to be faithful to Jesus, and to those Christ called “the least of these.”
On Ash Wednesday, February 17th, 2021, Evangelical leaders across the country joined their voices to read the Statement Condemning Christian Nationalism.
