  • “God & Country” Film Screening with Abrahamic House

    Location shared after registration. , United States

    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.

    Please 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.

    From 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?

    You can watch the trailer for the film here.

    This event will take place on Wednesday, May 21st from 7-9PM.
