Safeguarding our community from white Christian Nationalism: Rev. Angela Denker

There has been a disturbing rise in white Christian nationalist groups in the northern suburbs of Minneapolis. Including a recent flyer sent to Columbia Heights residents that was enlisting people to join a white supremacist group. In response to these racist groups, Stories from our Neighborhood will be hosting a storytelling night around we can safeguard our community from white Christian nationalist groups like the KKK and the Proud Boys.

Rev. Angela Denker is an award-winning author, ELCA Lutheran pastor, and veteran journalist who has a column in the Minnesota Star Tribune. Her second book is Disciples of White Jesus: The Radicalization of American Boyhood. Pastor Angela lives with her husband, Ben, and two sons in Minneapolis, where she is a sought-after speaker on Christian Nationalism and its theological and cultural roots. You can read more from Angela on her Substack: https://angeladenker.substack.com.

Please join us to learn what we can do as individuals, groups, and neighbors to keep our city safe and welcoming for everyone.

*A few people have asked about security for the event. We are planning to have a Columbia Heights Police Officer at the event.
