The Traveler & The Bishop: American Democracy & Christian Nationalism

Description

America’s leading authority on European travel, Rick Steves, delivers a dynamic "European take" on Trump and American democracy. He examines how lessons learned on the road can help Americans better understand and meet the challenges facing Democracy in the USA. Lutheran Bishop Shelley Bryan Wee (ELCA) shares a hard look (inspired by scripture) at the perversion of Christianity called Christian Nationalism. Bishop Shelley’s message brings a new dimension to your thinking about the place of religion in the political discourse of our country.
