Here are some quick links to some of my reflections in the area of Christian pacifism, which includes topics such as war, violence, allegiance, politics, ecclesiology, and the Christian's relationship to the state. As always, I have little interest in pontificating, but am rather seeking to stimulate dialogue -- so please, feel free to share your insights and disagreements in the comments section of these posts.
