A major study on the theology of Beloved Community. This long-awaited work by the church's top clergy, scholars, and thought leaders examines the theological foundation of Beloved Community and its threats. It addresses such important topics as the legacy and sin of white supremacy, economic disparity, racial healing, and the call for reparations. The committee's work sheds light on the societal and cultural implications of the largest obstacle to the core mission of Presiding Bishop Michael Curry and outlines what is necessary for the future of racial justice."I am so grateful for the... work of the theologians and bishops who have spent the last five years working on [this study] . . . This is hard and holy work, not to hurt or harm, but to help and heal."—Michael B. Curry, the presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church

An urgent call for awareness of the dangers of Christian nationalism, including the origins and implications.In 2022, Bishop Curry charged the House of Bishops Theology Committee to study Christian nationalism, an issue that has increasingly come to the forefront of conversations surrounding Christianity, democracy and white supremacy. The committee’s methodology in an Anglican framework of scripture, tradition, reason, and liturgy sheds light on the foundation of the movement and a path forward. They argue that it is sinful and violates the first and second of the Ten Commandments. Through careful examination of Christian nationalism, the Theology Committee warns members of the church not to fall into its trap, but instead to be a light to the world.Spanish translation of the report, case study, and discussion guide included.Una llamada urgente sobre los peligros del nacionalismo cristiano, con una guía de discusión.En 2022, el obispo Curry encargó al Comité de Teología de la Cámara de Obispos de la iglesia Episcopal que estudiara el nacionalismo cristiano, una cuestión que está cada vez más presente en las conversaciones sobre cristianismo, democracia y supremacía blanca. La metodología del comité en un marco anglicano de Escritura, tradición, razón y liturgia arroja luz sobre los fundamentos del movimiento y marca un camino a seguir. Argumentan que es pecaminoso y viola el primero y el segundo de los Diez Mandamientos. Mediante un cuidadoso examen del nacionalismo cristiano, el Comité de Teología advierte a los miembros de la Iglesia de que no caigan en su trampa, sino que sean una luz para el mundo. En ingles y español con estudio de caso y guía.
