The Beloved Community is our aspirational vision – what we seek to be and the positive vision for our American society that we will offer in a national campaign FOR the Beloved Community and AGAINST White “Christian” Nationalism.
The Call of the Beloved Community is multi-racial, multi-faith, multi-national, respectful of Indigenous people, immigrants, and of LGBTQ+ persons. It is the call of a place where everyone has a place, everyone has a voice, everyone is granted respect.
White “Christian” Nationalism is a dangerous political ideology and religious heresy based on the belief that this country was founded as and should be a "Christian" nation, must adhere to a distorted version of "Christian" values, and should perpetuate White Christian domination.
