What does it mean to have a united front? I once talked with someone who was routinely told that she needed to “put up a united front” in implementing a policy at the hospital where she worked. However, she didn’t agree with the policy, and this caused her to feel like she might need to find another job. This happens often when organizations change, but what about nations? Most citizens don’t have the means to migrate if something significant changes in their country, but they may still resist something they feel is unjust.

Usually in America, we express the changes we want to see through voting for politicians who have plans about changing what we want to see changed or maintaining positions we want to see unchanged. Traditionally, this has also meant that American citizens accept the winners of the election as being fairly elected to the offices they serve. But what about now when other forms of resistance have been encouraged or worse? How does that mesh with the idea of an “indivisible” nation under God?

Our team of Christian antiracism educators and friends sit down to talk about what it means to think of our nation as being an indivisible nation under God.
