Even when they call us mad, when they call us subversives and communists and all the epithets they put on us, we know we only preach the subversive witness of the Beatitudes, which have turned everything upside down —Oscar Romero

 

 

JESUS RADICALS UK presents:

THE WORLD TURNED UPSIDE DOWN

– Exploring Christianity, Anarchism, and Peacemaking

 

Christchurch Pitsmoor, Sheffield, November 21st to 23rd 2008

Acts 17:6-7
"They dragged Jason and some of the brothers before the city authorities, shouting, 'These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also, and Jason has received them, and they are all acting against the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.' "

"Christianity" and "Anarchism" have both often been the sources of a lot of stigma in their own respective rights. Is it possible that in exploring the political dimension of the spiritual Gospel, the faith of Christianity and the modern political theory of Anarchism can dialogue with each other? And if such is the case, what are the implications of peacemaking toward a world ravaged by war, greed, capitalism, and Empire?

This gathering is open to people of all backgrounds, whether Christians, Anarchists, neither, or both. In previous years we've been delegates of all denominations and none. Humanists, Evangelicals, Catholics, Quakers, and many others come together to meet, learn from one another and produce a fascinating weekend.

The third annual conference exploring the relationship between Christianity and Anarchism will be held by the good people of Christ Church Pitsmoor, 257 Pitsmoor Road, Sheffield S3 9AQ. The timetable of events will be constructed as planning progresses, until then a list of confirmed events and facilitators may be found by following the links.

 

Anyone wishing to be involved in the planning and deliberating of this conference are invited to subscribe to this mailing list, and if you wish to confirm a booking for this weekend then please do so through adam.dickson@gmail.com.
