Andrew Whitehead, a religion sociologist from Clemson University, talks about Christian nationalism. Why is it so embedded in some people’s idea of the United States?

Whitehead is the co-author, with Samuel Perry, of “Taking America Back for God: Christian Nationalism in the United States.”
Andrew Whitehead Ph.D., Associate professor at the College of Behavioral, Social, and Health Sciences of Clemson University, and author with Samuel L. Perry Ph.D. of Taking America Back for God: Christian Nationalism in the United States.

| Breakfast with Jesus: Rediscovering the ‘Love Feast” during COVID-19 |
June 12, 2020 |

A centuries-old Christian tradition with roots in the early church is enjoying a revival among United Methodists with churches shuttered during the pandemic. Producer Kimberly Winston looks at the “love feast,” which some congregations are practicing online until they can meet physically for communion. While it is neither a sacrament or widely practiced, the love feast is an alternative way of sharing the faith and community when the coronavirus is testing both.
You can read Kimberly Winston's companion piece at Religion Unplugged.
