SUMMARY:"God & Country" Film Screening with Abrahamic House
DESCRIPTION:Abrahamic House is a multifaith co-living and co-creating space to learn\, share\, pray\, celebrate\, connect\, and serve. We welcome individuals from all faiths to join us in sharing traditions and creating community. \nPlease join us for a screening of the film God & Country followed with a discussion led by one of our friends at Interfaith Alliance\, a D.C.-based national interfaith organization. \nFrom director Dan Partland and producer Rob Reiner\, God & Country looks at the implications of Christian Nationalism and how it distorts not only our Constitutional Republic\, but Christianity itself. Featuring prominent Christian thought leaders\, “God & Country” asks this question: What happens when a faith built on love\, sacrifice\, and forgiveness grows political tentacles\, conflating power\, money\, and belief into hyper-nationalism? \nYou can watch the trailer for the film here. \nThis event will take place on Wednesday\, May 21st from 7-9PM.
