Firm footing for a life of holy trouble. - Shane ClaiborneThe Christian faith has a rich tradition of civil disobedience. Old Testament stories of noncooperation with evil, or prophets standing up to Kings at great cost. Jesus, the nonviolent revolutionary, peacemaker, risk-taker. The early Christian communities, repeatedly imprisoned for speaking truth to power-like Dorothy Day or Martin Luther King Jr., centuries later.Nonviolent civil disobedience, when rooted in faith, is not only a way to protest unjust laws; it can be an experience of the sacred. It can be both a symbol and the reality of Christs love, overcoming the violence that surrounds us. Within this book youll find a civil resisters field guide to that tradition, and best practices for discernment, court appearances, even jail time. And if there comes a time to cross the line, youll find yourself in good company.Book specifications:Dimensions: 203 x 127Author: John DearCover type: PaperbackPublishing Year: 2022Publishing Month: 11Pages: 332Language: EnglishPublisher: Lab/Ora PressWeight: 299 g
