SUMMARY:Author Visit: Rev. Angela Denker
DESCRIPTION:Lake Harriet UMC welcomes author Rev. Angela Denker\, to discuss her book\, “Disciples of White Jesus: The Radicalization of American Boyhood.” \nIn her book\, Angela Denker offers a comprehensive look at the rise in radicalization among young white men in America\, especially focused on the role of right-wing Christianity in the increase of religious-based hatred and violence. Denker goes deep into the online rabbit holes of right-wing Christian influencers and conservative Christian ideology to understand how the preaching of “traditional gender roles” and “submission of women” has led to anger\, outrage\, loneliness\, depression\, and limiting identities for young white Christian men across America. \nRead More \nhttps://lakeharrietumc.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/PR_Disciples-of-White-Jesus.pdf \nThis is also the UWF Book Club pick for May 2025.
