DESCRIPTION:All our very welcome to attend our upcoming public lecture wit
 h leading sociologist of religion Prof Philip Gorski of Yale University. P
 rof Gorski will preview his new book on Christianity and democracy in ligh
 t of right-wing populism.\n\nWriting nearly two centuries ago\, Alexis de 
 Tocqueville argued that Christianity and democracy went hand-in-hand in th
 e American Republic. Do they still? One wonders\, given the role religious
  conservatives played in propelling Donald Trump into the White House\, an
 d their unwavering support for his Presidency. But perhaps we should not b
 e surprised by this. For the historical relationship between Christianity 
 and democracy has not always been a friendly one. In his lecture\, Gorski 
 sets the Trump presidency in the US and right-wing populism more broadly a
 gainst a deep historical backdrop and speculates on their likely impact on
  Christianity and democracy in America and elsewhere.
