The Forum with Jared Huffman: No Prophets

About this event

No Prophets: Defending Democracy in an Age of Christian Nationalism What happens when religious conviction becomes a political project—and when that project seeks to reshape American democracy? In No Prophets: The Fight to Save Democracy from Christian Nationalism, Congressman Jared Huffman draws on his experience in Congress and his own journey of faith to examine the growing influence of Christian nationalism in American government, its challenge to the separation of church and state, and the threat it poses to a pluralistic democracy. Join Dean Malcolm Clemens Young for a conversation with Congressman Huffman about the forces behind this movement, why they have gained influence, and how Americans of different faiths—and no faith—might come together to defend a public square in which everyone can participate on equal terms.
