June 13, 2025 What Is The Christian Teaching on Civil Disobedience?
In light of the violence and destruction we’ve seen unfolding in Los Angeles over the past week or so, it seems pertinent to examine what Christianity teaches about civil disobedience. Is it morally acceptable? Are there limits? How does this apply to the crisis in LA?
