Inside the Austin Church That Shaped James Talarico’s Left-Wing Views on Christian Morality | National Review
St. Andrew’s recently passed a resolution against ‘Christian nationalism,’ referring to the U.S. as a historically racist, intolerant country.

The Texas Senate candidate’s conception of Christian moral teaching, which he tirelessly promotes as the foundation of his campaign, seems to have been shaped by the church he has attended since childhood, St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Austin, Texas.
The minister of St. Andrew’s, the Reverend Jim Rigby, often brings politics into his sermons, frequently criticizing the Trump administration from the pulpit. His April 26 sermon, delivered a day after the assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, is a striking example. “There was an assassination attempt,” he told his congregation, “and I know a lot of people have mixed feelings” — he paused, and laughter rippled across the congregation — “but it’s really, really important if we’re going to be the healing agents of the world, to recognize that violence isn’t going to get rid of the problem that we have.”
St. Andrew’s church leadership passed an official resolution against Christian nationalism on Tuesday, shunning the narrative that America has a Christian founding. The leaders promote the idea that the United States has fundamentally corrupt roots, primarily in the unjust acquisition of Native American lands and enslavement of black Americans.
Comment:
Talarico keeps using the far left dog whistle term "Christian Nationalist".
This term is used by Left Wing demagogues to incite hate and fear.
Talarico is trying to redefine Christianity as marxism.
His church advocates same gender marriage and trans ideology.
