The Christian Anarchist Crookbook

I love the pure, peaceable and impartial Christianity of Christ; I therefore hate the corrupt, slave-holding, women-whipping, cradle-plundering, partial and hypocritical Christianity of this land.

Frederick Douglas, 1890

The mind of God is known through the Christian liberties abiding in the heart of every individual believer.

Waitstill Sharp, 1939

The Christian churches and Christianity have nothing in common save the name: they are
utterly hostile opposites. The churches are arrogance, violence, usurpation, rigidity, death.
Christianity is humility, penitence, submissiveness, progress, life.

Leo Tolstoy, 1894

Christian Anarchist – (a) an individual who has no other “arche” (primary form, force or authority, Greek) than Jesus Christ; (b) someone who embraces Jesus Christ as their sole lawgiver and who, from the point of view of faith or religion, refuses to allow anyone or anything come between them and their direct relationship with God through Jesus by the Holy Spirit; c) someone who as a Christian is an anarchist – believing they can govern themselves through their Christian life without the interventions of organized religions or institutional rules or demands; (d) someone who has experienced the ultimate liberation through a complete emancipation from every form of religious bondage. ¹
