Solidarity with the former students of St John's School for the Deaf in fighting the good fight against pedophilia within the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church. The top down nature of the RCC is a good example among many (including the Boy Scouts of America) of why that much uneven power inevitably corrupts and why the horizontal power of Anarchism is better.

For the record, should an abuse of power like this ever surface within the Episcopal Church I belong to, then I'll be the first to say fuck those priests and the church should be restructured. #MeaMaximaCulpa #christiananarchism #christiananarchy

I keep reading works of history that sort of talk *around* these groups without adequately getting into exactly who they were, what they believed, and where they came from, and I never quite understand the full picture as a result.

Any recommendations for articles/essays from an anarchist or broadly anti-authoritarian perspective on the history of:

anabaptists, antinomians, brethren of the free spirit, diggers, ranters, or similar pre/early modern religious and political movements?

#ChristianAnarchism is a thing on kolectiva so:
. . . from the line of david comes the messiah - happy anarcho=christmas 😆

🎄⛪️Today Christians celebrate the birth of (someone who, if they paid attention, they'd note was) an #anarchist: https://sites.google.com/site/christoyannopoulos/publications/christian-anarchism-a-political-commentary-on-the-gospel #christmasnotjustforconsumerism #interestingdinnerconversations

Book weaves together threads of anarchist #exegesis of #Gospel to thereby present as strong & coherent a case why “#Christianity” translates (or should do) to “#anarchism”

Considers #SermonontheMount, but also plenty more NT passages including #DesertTemptations, #TempleCleansing, #arrest, #trial, #crucifixion & #resurrection

Also covers allegedly #violent NT passages, & of course #RenderUntoCaesar & #Romans13. Also lists plenty of examples of followers of #ChristianAnarchism

Writers covered include #Tolstoy, #Ellul, #Eller, #Elliott, #Andrews, #CatholicWorkers #Day, #Maurin & #Hennacy, & others including #Garrison, #Berdyaev & #Yoder

#ChristianAnarchism

"Throughout the Bible, God is not only described as King, God is also identified as Creator, Liberator, Teacher, Healer, Guide, Provider, Protector and Love. By making monarchical language the sole or primary descriptor for who God is, Christians misrepresent the full character of God, who is actively involved in the plight of those suffering from oppression and injustice at the hands of the powerful. The Triune God seeks justice and freedom for creation. This God loves humanity enough to become incarnate in Christ, sacrifice self at the hands of men, reveal the futility of the earthly powers and defeat them through weakness, not domination or might. It is this fuller understanding of God as the One that walks alongside humanity rather than enslaves them from on high, and invites us to love one another rather than lord power over each other that motivates the Christian anarchist."
