New Video
Check out our videos section. We’ve added an old documentary called A Peace of the Anarchy: Ammon Hennacy and Other Angelic Troublemakers. It features Hennacy, Dorothy Day, the Berrigan Brothers, John Dear and many others from the peacemaking and Christian anarchist movement. What it lacks in technical proficiency it makes up for in rich historicity.
