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 #7:

Rock! Paper! Scissors! Issue #7 will explore the theme "Kindred and Legacy" and centers on this question: “What would it look like for us to not have empire and oppression shaping our present and future, robbing us from kinship and continuity of our history and legacy?”
