…Jackson. And so, as Obama campaigned and finally won the presidency of the United States, Walters believes that the reasoning of the Nation’s leadership came down to this: “Let us be helpful in the best way we can, and be quiet.” “At the next event Farrakhan speaks at, he will be very congratulatory,” Walters said. “Obama is someone from his town, after all, and someone he knows.” Indeed, at the Nation of Islam’s annual Saviour’s Day convention in…

And that moral core is best defined by evangelical Christian teachings.

So again, this is the White Christian nationalism that works, not j…

By Sarah Posner

…is a “leading force for shared ecumenical witness among Christians in the United States,” and that its “37 member communions — from a wide spectrum of Protestant, Anglican, Orthodox, Evangelical, historic African American and Living Peace churches,” represent 45 million Americans.
