LCW at Anarchist Bookfair

On Saturday 28th October we will have a stall at the London Anarchist Bookfair from 10am to 7pm at Park View School, West Green Road, London N15 3QR.

Alexandre Christoyannopoulos will give a workshop on "religion and anarchism":

Even though anarchism is nearly always anticlerical and frequently atheistic, the intersection of religion and anarchism is more complex than is often assumed. The aim of this workshop is to map out and discuss the literature on religion and anarchism by considering four main types: classic anarchist quarrels with religion and its institutions; anarchist interpretations of founding religious scriptures and figures; anarchist “theology”; and historical studies on specific religious anarchist thinkers, communities and movements. The workshop is led by Alexandre Christoyannopoulos, author of Christian Anarchism: A Political Commentary on the Gospel, and editor of two books on anarchism and religion.

The workshop will take place at 1pm in room LFG in the Learning Centre.

Two exciting events coming up

AntiUniversity Now - Non-Violent Direct Action Training: Monday 12th June 3 to 6pm at Giuseppe Conlon House 49 Mattison Road London.

As part of theAntiUniversity Now festivalwe are organising a Non-Violent Direct Action Training. The training explores questions such as "what is violence?" and "what is non-violent resistance?" through group exercises and discussion. The workshop will be led by anti-war activists and members of the London Catholic Worker, a Christian anarchist and pacifist community. People of all backgrounds are invited to participate and share their own ideas and experiences. The aim is to learn from each other and build awareness and understanding of different perspectives on non-violence which can strengthen solidarity and cooperation between different groups and movements.
