Are Anabaptists Pacifists?
In today’s exclusive partner episode, one listener commented, “I don’t have any enemies so how do I obey Jesus? Pacifism is the only thing that Anabaptist groups get wrong.”
Chester Weaver and Reagan Schrock discuss pacifism versus non-resistance and the Anabaptist view of those concepts as well as the fact that, if we are a Christian, we will undoubtedly have enemies.
For further study, check out some of our other episodes and articles on the topic of non-resistance on our website.
