The Rise of Religious Resistance, MAGA DEI Hysteria, and Theological Anthropology

PLUS, the latest from The Convocation Unscripted team.

In this episode, the Convocation Unscripted team highlights the religious resistance to the Trump administration’s abandonment of three decades of guidance that prohibited the government from conducting immigration enforcement raids in “sensitive locations,” including places of worship, schools, and hospitals. In response, a diverse group of 27 Christian and Jewish organizations filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security, claiming that such raids would violate their religious liberty and duty to welcome the stranger. We also talked about the role the law played in securing civil rights for African Americans when the executive and legislative branches failed to do so. Finally, we talked about the absurd turns the MAGA DEI hysteria has taken and the opportunity for Christians to develop a new theological anthropology consistent with a pluralistic democracy.

As a reminder, we’ll be back in your inbox each Friday with future episodes of The Convocation Unscripted. We also hope you’ll join us for our next live show on March 6 at 5pm ET (registration link to be sent out the week before). Also, if you’d like to catch our conversations as a podcast, each episode is now available at Apple podcasts or your favorite podcasting platform.
