River Road Church welcomes Amanda Tyler for discussion on religious liberty
Free Press staff report | 11/7/2024, 6 p.m.
Amanda Tyler, executive director of the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty (BJC), will present “How to End Christian Nationalism” on Sunday, Nov. 24, as part of River Road Church’s Distinguished Lecture Series. The event, scheduled from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at 8000 River Road, will address the rising tide of Christian nationalism and offer an essential guide for Christians seeking ways to counter this ideology.
Tyler, known for her work leading BJC’s Christians Against Christian Nationalism campaign and as co-host of the “Respecting Religion” podcast, will draw from her book to discuss how her faith, conversations with church leaders, research and Baptist convictions inform her approach to opposing Christian nationalism. Her visit to Richmond is one of several stops on her book tour for “How to End Christian Nationalism.”
The lecture is free and open to the public, with a suggested donation of $10. Books will be available for purchase before and after the presentation.
A church-wide supper will be held before the lecture, but reservations are required. Interested attendees should contact the River Road Church office for details. Tyler also will serve as the guest proclaimer during the church’s worship service earlier that day at 11 a.m.
Free parking is available across River Road and behind the church.
