Karl Barth authored the Barmen Declaration in Germany just a few years prior to World War 2. Let’s take a moment to rediscover Barth, The Confessing Church, and this bold stand against The State.

The Barmen Declaration - AC055

Evaluating the relationship between the Christian and the state.

Numerous times in the Bible we are told to love God above all else. This includes any forms of States or Kings. It is our desire at AnarchoChristian to present these Truths and Scripture through the filter of today’s political and social State worship.

No king but Christ!
