Defending Democracy from Its Christian Enemies: A Live Conversation with Dr. David Gushee
Event with Dr. Jer Swigart at Global Immersion Coming Monday!
Friends,
I’m so impressed with the work done by Dr. Jer Swigart and the incredible and dynamic team at Global Immersion, where they have the motto: We Form Everyday Peacemakers and Reconciling Leaders to Mend Divides.
This Monday, September 25 at 9 p.m. ET and 6 p.m. PT, I’m honored that they’ll be hosting me to talk with you live about my new book on Christianity and democracy coming in just two weeks.
Global Immersion also says that “peacemaking is not an add-on to the Christian faith—it’s the essence of our movement. Peace is a practiced way of life and the very adventure that we’ve been invited into.”
They offer programming and equip religious leaders and communities to think about their involvement in the effort of being peacemakers. And my new book fits well with the spirit of their work in its emphasis on the value of democracy and how I trace some of the roots of democracy to Christian tradition.
I hope you’ll join us this Monday.
And stay tuned following this event for details about a special 3-part interactive workshop with me and Dr. Jer Swigart on October 18, November 7, and November 14, fusing the themes of the book with training.

I’m so excited about this partnership with Global Immersion. It will be a great opportunity to find community, learn, and experience some of the solid ground of our faith.
Thanks for being on this journey with me,
DPG
Did this conversation happen? I registered and tried to join maybe 5 times, but everything seemed profoundly broken. Kind of a bummer. I stayed up late to watch.
