Democracy, Not Theocracy: A Training on How to Recognize and Resist Authoritarianism and White ‘Christian’ Nationalism

Details

The Maine Council of Churches and Multifaith Justice Maine are co-hosting this free training, which is designed to equip you to speak and act with the moral clarity this moment demands.

“Faith communities have superpowers in this moment to make a real difference in unique ways. We will focus on showing what those superpowers are and how to activate them through interfaith nonviolent civil resistance,” says training leader Adam Friedman of Interfaith Alliance.

He and others from Interfaith Alliance will teach participants how to refuse to cede ground to anti-democratic activists who think their “religious freedom” should be a license to hurt others. At the end of the training, you’ll learn about next steps you can take right here in Maine, including a follow-up training that will be offered by Multifaith Justice Maine, a group led by MCC Board member Rev. Dr. Jodi Hayashida.
