Christian Anarchism
Christian anarchism has been around for at least as long as “secular” anarchism.

They offer a compelling critique of the state, the church and the economy based on the New Testament.

Capitalism in the western world is currently facing a crisis of legitimacy in the face of rampant and growing inequality.

By offering a direct line to posterity, time capsules stimulated various hopes for the future. Remembrance of Things Present delves into these treasure chests to unearth those forgotten futures.
