    2021 Mahle Lecture in Progressive Christian Thought

    Who are We? Christian Nationalism, White Supremacy, and Pathways to Liberation

    The insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, opened the eyes of many people in our nation—and the world—to the religious views, politics, and aims of Christian Nationalism and its intersections with bigotry, violence, and white supremacy. To unpack and understand what happened against the larger movements of history, religious traditions, and injustice, the 2021 Mahle Lecture panel has invited a distinguished group of leaders to engage in conversation with one another and our Hamline community.

    Date:     Thursday, April 15, 2021
    Time:     11:15 a.m.–12:45 p.m.
    Cost:      Free

    About the Mahle Lecture in Progressive Christian Thought

    The Stephen and Kathi Austen Mahle Endowed Fund for Progressive Christian Thought was created to support the efforts of Hamline University toward exploring and articulating contemporary forms of Christian theology and providing students opportunities to learn its relevance to personal, social, political and economic life. Each year a progressive religious scholar is invited to Hamline's campus for several days of speaking and teaching in our community. This particular style of visit allows for community members to have the chance to interact with the scholar in a personal way. Classroom visits, local house of worship visits, and community conversations are just some of the ways past Mahle lecturers have engaged with the community in addition to their keynote lecture.

    Each scholar speaks on a particular theme related to their work and the world around us. The Wesley Center also aims to identify a piece of artwork that conveys the message of the scholar through a visual medium.
