Conference Communique 2010 — In the Beginning: Anarchism, Christianity and the Roots of Resistance

Organizing for the eighth annual anarchism and Christianity gathering on August 6 and 7 in Portland is in full swing and we are getting more excited as we continue to plan. The theme In the Beginning: Anarchism and Christianity and the Roots of Resistance reflects the sense that too often our attempts to resist systems of domination and injustice are often hindered by a shallow understanding of how these systems began or why they persist. To that end, we are organizing sessions and workshops around three sub-themes, including “Getting at the Root,” “Examining the Fruit” and “Sowing New Seeds.” Our confirmed speakers thus far include Wes Howard Brook, author of ‘Come Out My People’: God’s Call Out of Empire in the Bible and Beyond, Anthony Villagomez of Rising Tide and Mary Katherine of the indigenous Black Mesa community.
