Question of the Week: Religion and Nationalism



Happy 4th of July everyone! Because it is the fourth, I thought it would be appropriate to give some attention to a question that I have been asked before. With the fourth falling on a Sunday, many churches will be singing patriotic tunes during their worship service, display American flags proudly at the front of their churches, or preach a sermon directed towards the problems that America is facing. So the question for me is what place does nationalism or even patriotism have in Christianity, or should it have a place? Should churches coordinate worship services around America and its Independence Day?
