Orange Shirt Day
2024-09-30
What is Orange Shirt Day? It is a national day of remembrance of Indigenous Boarding Schools. It began as a day to bring attention to the damage this residential school system did to Indigenous children, lifeways, and cultures.
On September 30th many people across Canada (Turtle Island), and the US wear bright orange t-shirts to honor and raise awareness of the thousands of Indigenous children who were sent to residential schools. The tradition of Orange Shirt Day was created in recognition of the untold experiences and traumas that children faced after being separated from their families. Orange Shirt Day is now an annual commemoration.
More information can be found at Cultural Survival.org, the Library of Congress with a map of these boarding schools in the U.S., and the Orange Shirt Society.

Countering Christian Nationalism in Good Faith
2024-10-16 10:00 - 11:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
Register for the webinar HERE.
Wednesday, October 16, 2024
10am-11am Pacific Time (1 p.m. – 2 p.m. EDT)
Join Sojourners for an online conversation:
Eroding civil rights. Undercutting democratic norms. Endorsing violence to maintain power. Upholding white supremacy. Distorting faith for political gain. Every day seems to bring a new example of the threat of rising Christian nationalism – but how do we dismantle it?
In this online panel from Sojourners magazine, Christian nationalism experts and faith leaders will explore the hopeful actions that can counter this deadly set of beliefs. Panelists will explain what Christian nationalism is (and isn’t), offer examples of actions to help end it, and articulate a path forward that neither stifles the participation of people of faith in public life nor threatens a vibrant, democratic, and just future for all.
Panelists:
The Rev. Dr. William Barber II is president and senior lecturer of Repairers of the Breach, executive board member of the Christian Church Disciples of Christ, and a professor at Yale Divinity School where he is the founding director of the Center for Public Theology and Public Policy. He is also co-chair of the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call For Moral Revival, a Kettering Foundation senior fellow, and author of White Poverty: How Exposing Myths About Race and Class Can Reconstruct American Democracy.

Rev. Caleb E. Campbell is lead pastor at Desert Springs Bible Church in Phoenix, Ariz. His book, Disarming Leviathan: Loving Your Christian Nationalist Neighbor, equips Christians to minister to their Christian nationalist neighbors, explores the reasons so many people are attracted to it and provides a “field guide” for responding to American Christian nationalist talking points.

Rev. Pamela Cooper White Ph. D. is emerita professor of psychology and religion and a former dean and vice president for academic affairs at Union Theological Seminary. Her most recent book, The Psychology of Christian Nationalism, was awarded the INDIE independent publishers’ 2022 gold medal for social and political science.

Rev. Adam Russell Taylor is president of Sojourners and author of A More Perfect Union: A New Vision for Building the Beloved Community. He is ordained in the American Baptist Church and the Progressive National Baptist Convention. He is a gifted preacher and lecturer, applying the biblical roots of justice to today’s most pressing concerns.

Moderator:
Betsy Shirley is editor-in-chief of Sojourners. Her writing and multimedia work has earned awards from the Religion News Association, Associated Church Press, and Evangelical Press Association. She lives in Washington, D.C.
