We\\u2019re bringing you important conversations on white supremacy and American Christianity in this episode. First, we\\u2019ll play the June 26 discussion between researcher Robert P. Jones of PRRI and journalist Adelle Banks from Religion News Service (starting at 2:14). Jones is the author of the forthcoming White Too Long: The Legacy of White Supremacy in American Christianity, and he talks with Banks about the church\\u2019s current \\u201cmoment of reckoning\\u201d across denominational lines, particularly as white churches have been either blind to their part in systemic racism or have ignored it. This podcast also features Amanda\\u2019s call to action from the June 26 event, including the dangers of Christian nationalism (25:39). We\\u2019re also bringing you part of a follow-up conversation with BJC\\u2019s Charles Watson Jr. and Dr. Alphonso Saville of Georgetown University (37:48), where they discuss a wide range of issues, including how arguments can inform how we proceed and the importance of understanding history.
