Because so-called “Christian” Nationalists and the authoritarian government they support threaten a foundation of our Constitution and our creed: belief in the sacred worth and equality of all people. \nThat’s why Maine Council of Churches and Multifaith Justice Maine are inviting you to attend this online training led by our national partners at Interfaith Alliance and get equipped to speak and act with the moral clarity this moment demands. \nAdam Friedman of Interfaith Alliance who will lead this training says\, “Faith communities have superpowers in this moment to make a real difference in unique ways. We will focus on showing what those superpowers are and how to activate them through interfaith nonviolent civil resistance.” \nAdam and others from Interfaith Alliance will teach us how to refuse to cede ground to anti-democratic activists who think their “religious freedom” should be a license to hurt others. We’ll learn how to thwart their desire for social control\, white supremacist beliefs\, gleeful malevolence\, and comfort with authoritarian violence. \nAt the end of the training\, you’ll learn about next steps you can take right here in Maine\, including a follow-up training that will be offered by Multifaith Justice Maine\, a group led by Rev. Dr. Jodi Hayashida. \nBecause you believe authoritarianism is a spiritual crisis and betrays the divine call to love\, justice\, and humility\, please join us for this important training. The Zoom link for this will be emailed to you prior to the start of the training. Please RSVP here!
