SUMMARY:Gods of the Smoke Machine book launch
DESCRIPTION:Join us Thursday\, December 4 at 6:00pm Cha House for a conversation between author Scott Latta and John Archibald about Latta’s new book “Gods of the Smoke Machine: Power\, Pain\, and the Rise of Christian Nationalism in the Megachurch.” A question and answer session will follow. \nAbout the book: “We are entering a new era of religion in America: For the first time\, fewer than half the country belongs to a church. But within that group\, growing numbers are consolidating in megachurches\, which are amassing social and political power in our age of convenience and easy celebrity. \nGODS OF THE SMOKE MACHINE goes inside America’s largest churches to unpack the impacts of megachurch culture and hear stories from those who have been hurt by their growing influence and power. Combining personal storytelling and original reporting\, GODS OF THE SMOKE MACHINE pulls back the curtain on an insular institution of more than seventeen hundred churches nationwide that is answerable to almost no outside accountability.” \nBooks will be available for purchase and signing at the event. Hope to see y’all there!
