After President Trump publicly addressed the unrest following the killing of George Floyd, peaceful protesters were violently dispersed and the president posed for a photo holding a Bible in front of a church. This week, Amanda Tyler and Holly Hollman talk about the photo op and what it means in terms of religious liberty and Christian nationalism. They also review the most recent legal developments related to houses of worship and the coronavirus, including a late-night Supreme Court order and an unexplained change on the CDC's guidance for houses of worship. In the third segment, Amanda and Holly answer listener questions and share important books for self-reflection and action to take a stand against systemic racial injustice. Segment 1: New developments related to religious liberty, presidential statements and the coronavirus (starting at 00:40) Amanda shared her reflections on responding to racial injustice in this piece on BJC's Medium channel: Reflections in solidarity: Our work to do See President Trump's comments from Friday, May 22, about re-opening houses of worship at this C-SPAN link. The story Holly mentioned on the changing CDC guidelines is this article by Lena H. Sun and Josh Dawsey for The Washington Post: White House and CDC remove coronavirus warnings about choirs in faith guidance. Read the original guidance for houses of worship from the CDC at this link, and read the current version at this link, which no longer includes the suggestion to consider suspending or decreasing choirs and congregational singing as “singing may contribute to transmission of COVID-19.” You can view a report on the CDC's website about the spread of COVID-19 at a choir practice in Skagit County, Washington, at this link.

The online title is Trump's naked use of religion as a political tool draws rebukes from some faith leaders. Amanda quoted this Episcopal News Service article by Egan Millard about the fire in St. John's Church, which quotes both Rev. Rob Fisher and Bishop Mariann Budde: Fire causes minor damage to St. John's, the ‘church of presidents' in Washington, during night of riots. Amanda Tweeted this statement after the president's photo op: “The Bible is not a prop. A church is not a photo backdrop. Trump's version of Christianity provides cover for white supremacy and racial subjugation. My fellow Christians who feel the same: join us in denouncing #Christiannationalism.” Amanda mentioned Bishop Mariann Budde's appearance on Anderson Cooper 360.

Salvador Orellana.The American Baptist Home Mission Societies is currently in the process of raising $300,000 to help transform and bring healing in Puerto Rico. A gift to the Passionary Fund today will help replace a blue tarp with a sound, dry roof. Tens of thousands of residents of Puerto Rico are still living under blue tarps – and it's been two years since Hurricane Maria stormed the island.  Progress is being made but many still wait for a peaceful night's sleep. One hundred percent of your gift is applied directly to rebuild and restore Puerto Rico and will provide additional support above and beyond denominational offerings. Please give to American Baptist Home Mission Societies' Passionary Fund today to support our neighbors in Puerto Rico!More information can be found and gifts can be made at abhms.org/givehopeOur theme music is “Believable 2” by Peter SandbergThe Christian Citizen is edited by Curtis Ramsey-Lucas and is a publication of the American Baptist Home Mission Societies.
