This week's post includes helping Gray Fire victims, Mayor Nadine Woodward's appearance on stage with Christian nationalists, a Whitworth professor named a 2023 Young Scholar in American Religion and a Jehovah's Witness Regional Convention to be held in Russian.
Spokane City Mayor Nadine Woodward made a statement Monday morning explaining her presence at Sunday night’s “Let Us Worship” event. She was invited onstage to be prayed for by former Washington State legislator turned pastor, Matt Shea, and self-identified Christian nationalist, Sean Feucht.
Sean Feucht is touring state capitols and other cities in the Pacific Northwest. In response to his 50-state “Kingdom to the Capitol” tour, several faith leaders in the region sent a letter to lawmakers in Washington, Oregon and Idaho asking them to speak out and denounce his anti-LGBTQ+ bigotry.
