Confronting Christian Zionism: Episode 2
Thursday, May 23rd @ 12:00pm ET
In an attempt to defeat centuries of systemic antisemitism, mainline Christianity has absorbed many doctrines from Christian Zionism that have come to be understood as theologically mistaken. Where are these theological mistakes, and why must we call them out? How have these Christian Zionist ideologies led to giving Zionism — a political ideology — a pass by mainline churches? How are Americans complicit in the impunity Zionism enjoys today, which has led to the demonization of an entire people — Palestinians — who are now paying for European sins against their own Jewish populations? And what role have American Christians played in creating a settler colonial mindset that operates in an oft-invisible and unacknowledged framework?
Moderated by the Rev. Dr. Cynthia Holder Rich, with Rev. Jermaine Ross-Allam, Rev. Addie Domske, and Mr. Jonathan Kuttab
