About

Rock! Paper! Scissors! is a tri-annual, topic-focused, web-publication exploring the intersections of anarchist politics and Christian faith. Through following the way of Jesus in the shadow of empire, we seek to undermine systems of oppression and creatively explore possibilities for liberation from an anarchist or radical christian perspective.​

RPS Issue #3:
Truth, Trust, and Power

The third issue of Rock! Paper! Scissors! tools for anarchist + Christian thought and action, will focus on the theme "Truth, Trust, and Power." Jesus Radicals wants to share your stories of resistance, love, and transformation. Between now and January 4, 2019, we are seeking pitches for articles, poems, photography, prose, and other media on this theme of Truth, Trust, and Power as it specifically relates to the kinds of robust relationship-building practices we need in polarized times. We want to explore the intersections between truth, trust, and power in settings of dialogue, reconciliation, and movement-building.
