Leo Tolstoy's classic text of Christian Anarchism....

"An extremely harmful book that undermines the foundations of social and governmental institutions and wholly destroys the teaching of the church." -Moscow Civil Censorship Committee.

This refers to the Leo Tolstoy book "What I believe".
I am reading Tolstoy's book "The Kingdom of God is within You" which is basically a commentary of his responses to the stir that "What I believe" produced. Needless to say...it's a barn burner.

Here is a quote:
"But Christ could not have founded the Church, that is, what we now understand by that word. For nothing like that idea of the Church as we know it now, with its sacraments, miracles, and above all its claim of infallibility, is to be found either in Christ's words or in the ideas of the men of that time."

Here is a link to the table of contents...read it, you can get the picture as to why it's controversial to say the least.
You can also read it online there as well. (http://www.kingdomnow.org/withinyou.html )

It's a must for anyone looking at the issues of peace, non-resistance and war.

We are going to inherit the earth....

"We are going to inherit the earth . There is not the slightest doubt about that. The bourgeoisie may blast and burn its own world before it finally leaves the stage of history. We Are not afraid of ruins. We who ploughed the prairies and built the cities can build again, only better next time. We carry a new world, here in our hearts. That world is growing this minute."
-Durruti

The Christian anarchist...

The dictionary definition of a Christian is one who follows Christ; kind, kindly, Christ-like. Anarchism is voluntary cooperation for good, with the right of secession. A Christian anarchist is therefore one who turns the other cheek, overturns the tables of the moneychangers, and does not need a cop to tell him how to behave. A Christian anarchist does not depend upon bullets or ballots to achieve his ideal; he achieves that ideal daily by the One-Man Revolution with which he faces a decadent, confused, and dying world". -Ammon Hennacy
