The Narrative
Project
of THE CHRISTIAN CENTURY
Changing the narrative of American Christianity, one story at a time.

The Challenge

Two stories dominate the public narrative around faith in the United States: the "Mainline decline story," which depicts historic churches as shrinking and irrelevant, and the "Christian nationalist story," which associates robust faith with right-wing politics and restrictive values.

Our Solution

We challenge these limiting narratives by highlighting vibrant, alternative expressions of Christian life. Supporting communities engaged in innovative, inclusive, and pluralistic Christian witness, we resource storytellers and create platforms for them to reach wider audiences.
