Bad Faith Film Viewing & Discussion

When: Sunday, March 8

Where: Community Rm. B, Carmel Public Library, 425 East Main Street, Carmel IN 46032

Time: 2:00 - 4:00 p.m.

Join us as we screen the 2024 documentary BAD FAITH, a searing film that highlights the history behind the rise of Christian Nationalism in the U.S., and the threat it poses to our democracy - and to the immigrant population we serve. After the film we will host a 30-minute post-film Q&A session led by Dr. Matthias Beier, an associate professor at Christian Theological Seminary.

Dr. Beier is an internationally recognized expert and speaker on assessing the difference between harmful and healthy forms of religion and on fostering a spirituality of love and peace. He debated Lt. Governor Micah Beckwith in an IndyStar series on Christian Nationalism to counter the harmful misuse of religion by the government.

Beier is the author of three books on faith, culture, and mental health, including A Violent God-Image (Bloomsbury). He holds a Master of Divinity degree and a PhD in Psychology and Religion, and has served as a United Methodist minister. Beier publishes the Substack Religion and Society on the Couch.
