Anarchism and Christianity Conference
Sponsored by Jesus Radicals and the Champaign Catholic Worker
August 4-5, 2006
Illinois Disciples Foundation
610 E. Springfield Avenue
Champaign, Illinois |
Anarchists and Christians in America share the tension of living in a kind of limbo. We know that life can at the very least be different, and at best be radically transformed, yet we are also overwhelmed by life in a society steeped in the status quo. If you ever wonder whether it is possible to put your faith and ideas into practice in the belly of the Empire, the answer is, "Yes." Here in this Place: Anarchism and Christianity in our Context will show you examples of people doing just that.
This year’s two-day conference builds on last year's theme of anarchism and Christianity in word and deed, with sessions that provide concrete examples of radical living within the United States. With topics such as Living in Community 101, The Problem of Policing and In Our Backyards: Urban-Rural Environmental Sustainability, speakers will not only share their theological/ideological reasons for the work that they do, they will also share strategies for how they do that work. The aim of the event is to both give a glimpse of anarchism and Christianity in action and spark ideas on practices that may apply to the various situations we find ourselves in.
We welcome you to take a look at our new, exended sessions, learn more about jesus radicals and sign up to attend. We especially look forward to finding hope and learning together in this place. |

hmm, very interesting! :-)
Are you going to have sessions on how to communicate with a radical chirstians?
and
How to communicate with a radical anarchist?
What would Jesus say?
probably say something to the effect that we all are in this together, we all want change , some are more passionate about it
and some have less information or more
We need to repsect each others Passion yet stick with the facts ...
I hope I can be in attendance for this amazing idea for a Conference . |

Hi Michael--I encourage you to take a look at the conference Web site for more information on the event. This is the fourth one of its kind and we've had anarchists, Christians and Christian anarchists attend and engage in solid dialogue together. Hope to see you there. |

Hello, Michael and Nekeisha. I have to admit that I was skeptical until I visited the website and started poking around the forums and library. There is a huge diversity of beliefs and opinions, but there was a surprisingly large amount that I could agree with, and I give your members credit for thoughtfulness in discussing the various issues. If I can get time off from work, I'll try to attend. |
