For today’s entry in our Unsettling Advent series, Matthew D. Taylor writes that as wannabe tyrants arise and the authoritarian logic of empire finds purchase among Christian Nationalists, sincere followers of Jesus should listen afresh to Mary this Christmastime.

Familiarity breeds contempt, but this Advent, in the face of rising authoritarianism and tyranny both in the U.S.

As we commemorate today, Christina Ray Stanton, Author delves into how the nation that once led the global fight against AIDS has stepped back from even acknowledging it.

Still, there are glimmers of hope.

In 2025, the U.S.-led global fight against AIDS grew more complicated as the Trump administration dismantled most foreign aid and barred State Department employees from commemorating World AIDS Day.

Neither of these books offers simple solutions, groundless hope, or five steps to rebuild a church. The moment we are in is too complex for any of that. Instead, each offers its own version of creativity and solidarity that will help both clergy and church members think differently about the realities of the present and the opportunities for the future.

The news continues to get bleaker.

Either of these books is valuable on its own. Read together, they can become catalysts for pastors who feel stuck and congregations struggling to muster hope. They are the reflections of four pastors who believe in churches and know that God still does too.

Check out our fresh news roundup!

You will find a piece about a new Advent boycott, a look at the historical and present theological tensions with the upcoming Christ the King Sunday, criticism of New York Times religion reporters for not using the term Christian Nationalism, and more.

Here’s the weekly roundup from A Public Witness. This week we published a piece about a special Advent focus and a look at the historical and present theological tensions with Christ the King Sunday.

Many pastors who have spoken against Christian Nationalism will use this coming Sunday as another time to remind people of the dangers of that ideology which shifts our allegiance from the Kingdom of God to a nation.

While that seems like a natural implication from declaring “Christ is King,” a Christian Nationalist politician just got the Michigan House to recognize the liturgical day.

On Thursday, the Michigan House of Representatives passed a resolution to officially declare Nov. 23 as “Christ the King Sunday” in the Mitten State.

11/20/2025

Christian Nationalism co-opts what is sacred, twisting it to serve profane political power. They misuse the Bible, Christian music, and the practices of baptism and communion.

So it’s no surprise to see a theological declaration like “Christ is King” also being used not to lift up Christ but to advance racist, antisemitic politics.

On Thursday, the Michigan House of Representatives passed a resolution to officially declare Nov. 23 as “Christ the King Sunday” in the Mitten State.

11/19/2025

We are seeing a Christian Nationalist politician like Rep. Josh Schriver in Michigan promote the upcoming Christ the King Sunday as he advocates for Christian Nationalism in ways that aren’t too dissimilar from Pope Pius XI when he announced the first Feast of Christ the King in 1925.

On Thursday, the Michigan House of Representatives passed a resolution to officially declare Nov. 23 as “Christ the King Sunday” in the Mitten State.

Many pastors who have spoken against Christian Nationalism will use this coming Sunday as another time to remind people of the dangers of that ideology which shifts our allegiance from the Kingdom of God to a nation.

While that seems like a natural implication from declaring “Christ is King,” a Christian Nationalist politician just got the Michigan House to recognize the liturgical day. And that tension actually goes back to the start of this focus in churches a century ago.

On Thursday, the Michigan House of Representatives passed a resolution to officially declare Nov. 23 as “Christ the King Sunday” in the Mitten State.
