Updates from the Road - Our Faith and Democracy Tour Continues in Tempe this Sunday!
Coming this Sunday to Tempe, AZ, and other stops soon to be announced.
Dear Convocation readers,
After months of planning,The Convocation Team has hit the road! Last Sunday, we held our first Faith and Democracy Tour stop at First Baptist Church in Greensboro, NC. Rick Pidcock from Baptist News Global attended Christian nationalist provocateur Sean Feucht’s “Kingdom to the Capitol” event in the morning and then our Faith and Democracy Tour event in the evening—and wrote up the contrast in “A tale of two rallies on the same day in North Carolina.” (We missed Jemar in NC, who had a family emergency, but we look forward to having him back with us this weekend in Tempe.)
This Sunday (10/20), we’ll be at Dayspring United Methodist Church in Tempe, AZ. Scroll down for details! If you’re in the Tempe area this Sunday, we hope you’ll come join us. And please help us spread the word in your networks.
Also, bookmark our Faith & Democracy Tour home page — we hope to be adding more tour stops soon! And we hope to see you on the road!
Robby, Diana, Kristin, and Jemar

More About Us
Because we’ve had many new subscribers over the last few weeks, we also wanted to be sure to let you know how you can follow The Convocation Unscripted team. Here’s the lowdown.
The Convocation's newsletter, podcast, and YouTube channel bring together four scholars (three historians and one sociologist) who write and think deeply about religion and its intersection with culture, history, and politics in America. We also each take our own Christian faith seriously and are deeply concerned about the future of both democracy and Christianity in the U.S. Most importantly, over the years, we’ve found ourselves to be not just fellow travelers but friends. Substack is updated weekly, podcast and YouTube channel biweekly.
The Faith and Democracy Tour is brought to you by PRRI.
My spouse and I attended the event at First Baptist. I enjoyed the responses between the three, but the spouse was expecting something along the line of the open and frank discussion seen on line. I blame the Baptists.
