Anti-war protest from Abilene Christian featured as Photo of the Week at the Nation
The photographs from Kendall Ball at ACU are quite striking. I would recommend you check them out here!
And here I thought all Texans were pro-war… Congrats to Kendall!
You can check out more of Kendall’s work here on flickr.
I thought the sage words from an interview of yale theology professor Miroslav Volf in the Wittenburg Door seem to apply to our otherizing and dehumanizing war practices:
“Because the ultimate goal of human life is a community of love in the embrace of the Triune God. Any action or institution that seeks to eliminate, assimilate, and dominate or simply abandon the other–any exclusionary practice–is sinful;it trangresses against the goal for which God has created humanity and therefore against the will of God. Because Christians believe that God is love, they must believe that exclusion is a fundamental sin.”
What do you think of Kendall’s photography? What do you think of Volfs words? Do you agree with the ideology? Is non-violence the answer in all cases?
