Comment Code of Conduct (based on Sojourners' code):

I will express myself with civility, courtesy, and respect for every member of the Ethos online community, especially toward those with whom I disagree — even if I feel disrespected by them. (Romans 12:17-21)

I will express my disagreements with other community members' ideas without insulting, mocking, or slandering them personally. (Matthew 5:22)

I will not exaggerate others' beliefs nor make unfounded prejudicial assumptions based on labels, categories, or stereotypes. I will always extend the benefit of the doubt. (Ephesians 4:29)

I will hold others accountable by reporting comments that violate these principles, based not on what ideas are expressed but on how they're expressed. (2 Thessalonians 3:13-15)

I understand that comments reported as abusive are reviewed by Ethos staff and are subject to removal. Repeat offenders will be blocked from making further comments. (Proverbs 18:7)

A critical response to Nick Jensen’s “Christians and Principles of Civil Disobedience”

Wednesday, 3 December 2014

| Paul Tyson

Mr Jensen does not make any serious attempt to address the substantive moral issue that the LMAW campaign is concerned with, but is primarily concerned with formal procedural matters concerning what type of civil disobedience is consistent with upholding just laws. A ‘pro-Christendom’ Conservative political theology is going to feel uncomfortable with just about any sort of religiously motivated act of civil disobedience.
