Replay: The Power Worshippers with Katherine Stewart

<p>Two years ago Rector's Cupboard interviewed Katherine Stewart, an author and leading voice on the “Christian Nationalist” movement in the United States. At the time, we spoke about her book "The Power Worshippers".</p> <p> </p> <p>This week, Stewart had <a href='https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/05/opinion/dobbs-christian-nationalism.html?searchResultPosition=1'>an article in the New York Times</a> that discussed the overturning of Roe vs. Wade. This week we're re-releasing that episode, as the conversation is as relevant now as it was then.</p> <p> </p> <p>Christians should be speaking against Christian Nationalism. It is not speaking against Christianity. It is not speaking against Jesus. It is speaking against a political movement that has become idolatry. </p> <p> </p> <p>Books and articles referenced in this episode:</p> <p><a href='https://www.amazon.ca/Power-Worshippers-Dangerous-Religious-Nationalism/dp/1635573432'>The Power Worshippers</a> <a href='https://www.amazon.ca/Good-News-Club-Christian-Americas/dp/B071YWJG11/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=the+good+news+club&qid=1593208953&s=books&sr=1-1'>The Good News Club</a> <a href='https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/mar/03/bill-dallas-christian-nationalist-right-donald-trump'>How a Data-backed Christian Nationalist Machine Helped Trump to Power</a> - The Guardian, March 2020 <a href='https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/29/opinion/william-barr-trump.html'>Bill Barr Thinks America is Going to Hell</a> - The New York Times, December 2019 <a href='https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/31/opinion/trump-evangelicals-cyrus-king.html'>Why Trump Reigns as King Cyrus</a> - The New York Times, December 2018   </p>
