I would also support that definition of Christian Nationalism. The problem is, that’s not necessarily the operating definition, even among self-proclaimed Christian Nationalists. There are also some within the church who would denounce even the idea that Christians should serve in political office, believing that since this world is not our home, we should not waste our time trying to “rearrange deckchairs on the Titanic.” They are content to let culture and civil government be exclusively in the hands of the world, and some even celebrate secularism, multiculturalism, and religious pluralism as a categorical good outside of the church. The fact is, there is more than enough disagreement about exactly what Christian Nationalism is, and what relationship the church should have with the state, to justify a study committee to study the issue in greater depth. And that’s all the OPC’s study committee will be doing: studying the issue and reporting their findings to the 94th GA in 2028. That assembly can receive the majority report, or the minority report if there is one, or neither report if they aren’t satisfied that the study committee handled the issue well. Even if the assembly accepts a report, it is only treated as “pious advice” and is not binding. It cannot serve as grounds in any ecclesiastical court. There will be no excommunications on the basis of the findings of a study committee report. That would require a change to our secondary standards. A report might be used as justification for proposing such an amendment, but that is an even longer and more difficult process. When it comes to racism, I think the statement that has been adopted by these various denominations is very close to what you provided as the classical definition. Here’s the statement as originally adopted by the ARP last year: “That the 221st General Synod of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church do on this solemn day condemn without distinction any theological or political teaching which posits a superiority of race or ethnic identity born of immutable human characteristics and does on this solemn evening call to repentance any who would promote or associate themselves with such teaching, either by commission or omission.” While I am not entirely happy with the wording of that statement, I think it more or less aligns with the classical definition of racism you outlined. When your classical definition mentions that racism holds that “humans can be divided into distinct biological ‘races’” with “inherited physical traits [that] are linked to inherent differences in abilities, character, intellect, morality, or behavior,” that is exactly what is meant by the statement’s language of “immutable human characteristics.” When your classical definition states that racism holds that “some races are superior or inferior to others,” that is exactly what is meant by the statement’s language concerning any “teaching which posits a superiority of race or ethnic identity.” I think both the statement adopted by the ARP, RPCNA, PCA, and OPC and your classical definition of racism leave room for a love of one’s own culture and heritage, and a recognition that cultures are not all created equal. We can also recognize that culture is not an “immutable human characteristic.” Just as Ruth forsook her Moabite culture saying, “For where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God. Where you die I will die, and there will I be buried. May the LORD do so to me and more also if anything but death parts me from you,” (Ruth 1:16-17) so can peoples from any and every culture forsake the defective aspects of their own culture in order to be grafted into the Church of Christ and reap the benefits of the transformation of culture that comes along with faith the gospel. I think this is where many of the kinists and race realists are missing the boat. They conflate race and culture, as though culture is immutably tied to biology. Thus they become more concerned that their grandchildren “look like them,” than they are about teaching the ways of God to their children “when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise” (Deut 6:7).
