Jim Winkler is the Chair of the Board of Americans United for Separation of Church and State. He recently retired as President and General Secretary of the National Council of Churches, the nation’s leading ecumenical organization. Prior to that role, he was General Secretary of the United Methodist General Board of Church and Society, their justice arm. He lives in Byron, IL, and we are honored to have him as our guest preacher to kick off our month on pluralism. Few Americans are more qualified to speak on this issue, and the threat of Christian Nationalism to our civic and religious life.
