Hey, #Christians on the #left: Can the hashtag #HolyAnarchy be a thing?

Here's what I mean: I look at the first-century #church, and I see an #egalitarian community which cared deeply about #equity, #inclusion, #MutualAid, and #CommunityCare.

Now, they had trouble figuring out how to do it, but what they were working towards looks like what I see a lot of #leftists working towards today, including those who choose the label #anarchism. If #anarchy basically means coming together as a #community without hierarchy, neighbor caring for neighbor, then I think there's a place for us to join in with the work.

I know many people have concerns about identifying as #Christian because at least since Constantine, #Christianity has been entwined with #empire and #power. If you want to #decolonize the faith, you have to go way back.

But for those of us who do so identify, who do see the importance of coming together without #nationalism, with an eye towards #antiracism and #disability equity, of building the common good through #solidarity -- for those of us who live out our #faith in that way, might that be called #HolyAnarchy?

Note: I wrote this from a Christian perspective, but if you are of another faith and find this resonates with you, I would welcome your thoughts. I find the intersection of #spirituality and #leftist action very compelling.

The Magnificat contains beautiful examples of #HolyAnarchy:
"The proud in mind and heart, God has sent away in disarray.
The rulers from their high positions of power, God has brought down low. And those who were humble and lowly, God has elevated with dignity.
The hungry—God has filled with fine food.
The rich—God has dismissed with nothing in their hands."
(Luke 1:51-53 VOICE)
@Raveler1 We're on the same wavelength! I just posted about that. The Canticle of the turning, based on the Magnificat, is one of my favorite Advent hymns. When you think about it, Christmas is not nearly the tame holiday it's made out to be.
