Announcement: New Paid and Free Features on #WhiteTooLong
As we are navigating the threat of white Christian nationalism in this critical election year, I’ll be adding a new regular feature for paid subscribers via my #WhiteTooLong newsletter: conversations with leading authors who are writing about issues at the intersection of religion, racial justice, and politics. My first two WTL Author Forums—with Greg Garrett and Jim Wallis—generated such strong interest and were so enjoyable that I’ve decided to make these webinars a regular part of the offerings here (links to those forums below).
Along with these curated conversations for paid subscribers, I’ll also be sharing opportunities for joining other free WTL Conversations, including #AskMeAnything forums (with surprise guests) and ways to virtually join me on my 2024 book tour.
I’m just beginning to get this organized, so stay tuned for more opportunities that will be added throughout the year.
Warmly,
Robby
