So often the reason that nonviolence doesn’t feel like a viable option for Christians is that we simply have never seen what nonviolent action looks like, and because of this lack of imagination, nonviolence seems unrealistic or naïve.
That’s why we were excited to talk with Ron Sider about his book Nonviolent Action: What Christian Ethics Demands but Most Christians Have Never Really Tried. He tells concrete stories of nonviolent action, and the justice and beauty it produces, to help stoke our imaginations for what the various ways that nonviolent action can play out.
