[Peace] 4th annual Anarchism and Christianity conference

[Eric Anglada]

******Please forward widely************

Below is an annoucement for a conference coming up.
The Catholic Worker House will be doing the hosting
but we are running out of space for folks coming out
of town for the conference. If ANYONE has space in
their house for a sleepign bag or space in their yards
for a tent I would really love if you could contact me
and let me know. We are trying to get a count of how
many people can be put up by others in the community.
This is a free conference and all food will be
provided by the Catholic Worker House. If you're
interested in finding out more, please email me or
call 398_3413. Much appreciated. 


Here in this Place: Anarchism and Christianity in our
Context

Anarchists and Christians in America share the tension
of living in a kind of limbo. We know that life can at
the very least be different, and at best be radically
transformed, yet we are also overwhelmed by life in a
society steeped in the status quo. If you ever wonder
whether it is possible to put your faith and ideas
into practice in the belly of the Empire, the answer
is, "Yes." Here in this Place: Anarchism and
Christianity in our Context will show you examples of
people doing just that. 
This year’s two-day conference builds on last year's
theme of anarchism and Christianity in word and deed,
with sessions that provide concrete examples of
radical living within the United States. With topics
such as Living in Community 101, The Problem of
Policing and In Our Backyards: Urban-Rural
Environmental Sustainability, speakers will not only
share their theological/ideological reasons for the
work that they do, they will also share strategies for
how they do that work. The aim of the event is to both
give a glimpse of anarchism and Christianity in action
and spark ideas on practices that may apply to the
various situations we find ourselves in.


In peace,

Eric Anglada

St. Jude Catholic Worker, 317 S. Randoph, Champaign
