You can't understand Christian nationalism & the January 6th Capitol Riot without recognizing the roles that Messianic Judaism & Christian Zionism play in Charismatic Christianity. But where did these movements come from & why are they viewed so differently by Jews & Christians? Attend a free 3-week online course beginning on Tuesday, May 2 taught by Institute for Islamic, Christian, and Jewish Studies (ICJS) Protestant scholar Matthew D. Taylor, the Institute's resident expert on Christian nationalism. There will be afternoon and evening sessions. Register for the zoom link.
The instructor Matthew D. Taylor, Ph.D., is the Protestant Scholar at ICJS, where he specializes in Muslim-Christian dialogue, Evangelical and Pentecostal movements, religious politics in the U.S., and American Islam. Before coming to ICJS, Taylor served on the faculty of Georgetown University and George Washington University, and he is currently a faculty member in the Theology Department at Loyola University Maryland. His forthcoming book, Scripture People: Salafi Muslims in Evangelical Christians’ America (Cambridge University Press, 2023), offers an introduction to the oft-misunderstood Salafi movement in the U.S. by way of comparison with American Evangelicalism.

May is National Hispanic Heritage Month
May is National Hispanic Heritage Month, a time to recognize and celebrate the many contributions, diverse cultures, and extensive histories of the American Hispanic and Latinx community. According to the census, 62.6 million Americans identify as Hispanic or Latinx, making them the nation’s largest racial or ethnic minority. In Maryland, Hispanic/Latinx are 12% of the Maryland population and number around 744,000.
The Heritage Month observation started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period in September-October. It was enacted into law on August 17, 1988, on the approval of Public Law 100-402. The day of September 15 is significant because it is the anniversary of independence for Latin American countries Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on September 16 and September18, respectively.
During this Hispanic Heritage Month, the Maryland Commission on Civil Rights (MCCR) encourages Marylanders to learn more about the culture and contributions the Hispanic/Latinx community have made in society.
