Holy Anarchy: Dismantling Domination, Embodying Community, Loving Strangeness

by Graham Adams

Perhaps, after all, the decolonising agenda isn’t extra baggage the church needs to carry on top of everything else. Perhaps, instead, it is the very heart of what the church should be about – disrupting, uncomfortable, and bringing about a kind of ‘holy anarchy’. In Holy Anarchy, Graham Adams points to a realm in which all dynamics of domination, not least in the church, are subverted. It cuts across the loyalties and boundaries of religion and fosters the greatest possible solidarity amongst the different. Urgent and timely, the book weaves together themes around Empire, liberation and decolonial practice with an exploration of the nature and scope of church community, interreligious engagement, mission, and worship.

Essential theology for the church of today. Especially helpful as an American in the middle of some of the social/national situations the book begins by describing. I wish it could be required reading for every pastor, theologian, and denominational leader.
