We’ve got a truly important article today. Brett Hill has spent this semester researching the trend between religion and polarization following the Capitol Insurrection on January 6 of this year. He has now written this excellent article on the existential threat of religious polarization that forces all Christians to take responsibility for how their faith has created such a divide in the United States of America. I encourage you all to read this article carefully and discuss it with one another, your friends, and your contexts.
