Alabama evangelicals and "The Kingdom, the Power and the Glory"

I am going to initiate communications to Alabama evangelical and other churches in which I urge them to watch the above video about Tim Alberta's new book The Kingdom, the Power and the Glory and have discussions about the same within their church community.

I will communicate to churches using the following form of email message:

Subject  ______ Church and Tim Alberta's new book The Kingdom, the Power and the Glory
Dear
I am a lapsed Episcopalian and my wife is Catholic.
I believe religion and politics are badly infecting each other in the United States currently.
I have no idea whether you agree.
Regardless, I wish to urge you to watch the video at https://www.msnbc.com/morning-joe/watch/writer-details-how-evangelicals-confronted-him-about-trump-at-his-father-s-funeral-199309381624. The video is a discussion with Tim Alberta concerning his new book The Kingdom, the Power and the Glory.
If you watch the video, I would next ask you to consider whether it would be constructive from the perspective of both religion and politics for the video to be watched by an appropriate group at the church, followed by discussion.
I will understand if you think the video is inappropriate for your church's purposes.
FYI, I will be identifying at https://al6thcongdist-ihaveuntiljan13.blogspot.com/2023/12/alabama-evangelicals-and-kingdom-power.html churches which I have asked to consider viewing the video as described in this email.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Rob Shattuck

Subject: Christian nationalism and Alabama 6th Congressional district
Dear Birmingham churches:
I have previously intruded on your churches per Be An Alabama Rootstriker* with Rob Shattuck: Alabama evangelicals and "The Kingdom, the Power and the Glory" (al6thcongdist-ihaveuntiljan13.blogspot.com).
I am intruding on you again by this email informing you that I am trying to get on the ballot as an Independent candidate in the Alabama 6th Congressional district against Rep. Gary Palmer, per Be An Alabama Rootstriker* with Rob Shattuck: My Wishes and Horses Campaign (al6thcongdist-ihaveuntiljan13.blogspot.com).
If I am successful in getting on the ballot, I plan to press Rep. Palmer about Christian nationalism.
Sincerely,
Rob Shattuck

Subject: Recent books "The Kingdom, the Power and the Glory" and "The False White Gospel"
Dear St. Thomas Episcopal Church, West Huntsville Baptist Church, United Church, Northwest Church of Christ, Valley Fellowship Chruch, and Providence Baptist Church:
I am a lapsed Episcopalian in Birmingham and my wife is Catholic.
I believe religion and politics are badly infecting each other in the United States currently.
I have no idea whether you agree.
Regardless, I wish to urge for you to watch the videos at Writer details how evangelicals confronted him about Trump at his father's funeral and Trump is marketing our worst demons, says theologian (msnbc.com). The videos are discussions with authors of the recent books The Kingdom, the Power and the Glory and The False White Gospel: Rejecting Christian Nationalism, Reclaiming True Faith, and Refounding Democracy.
If you watch the videos, I would next ask you to consider whether it would be constructive from the perspective of both religion and politics for the videos to be watched by appropriate groups at your churches, followed by discussion.
I will understand if you think the videos are inappropriate for your churches' purposes.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Rob Shattuck
