NH Council of Churches Keynote with Rev. Dr. Carter Heyward, Author of 7 Deadly Sins of White Christian Nationalism
From NH Council of Churches:
Dear Church,
Have you registered for our summer keynote yet with Rev. Dr. Carter Heyward?
Just yesterday, I gathered with community and faith leaders regarding the latest act of white supremacist violence in our state. In a time of rising hate activity, the Church has a particular responsibility in the work of dismantling white Christian nationalism. It is a gift to have an expert like Carter with us to do just that!
We invite you to join us for either the daytime event, evening event, or both! The event is generously happening at no cost to you to ensure as many people as would like to attend are able to do so. We hope you will make this a part of your summer plans, and share with your neighbors.
