Jacques Ellul warns us that if we pursue the methods of propaganda, we will become like any other ideology and lose the essence of our faith. Do we collaborate with the powerful? Can we resist the temptation to conform to the spirit of the age, so that we can transform a fractured, disintegrated culture?<\/p>\n
A Spirituality of Resistance works in a subtle, subversive way, not through the edifice, but underground, in a way undetectable by the censors and prohibitors of our faith. In this way we can capture the imagination of those outside our common-unity and thus cause the ultimate downfall of the opposing \u2018stronghold\u2019 or edifice. Art works best in the margins, not at the soft-centre of some institution or other. If you want to support such activists, then don\u2019t drag them into the Church, support them where they are culturally situated, as one would a member of the resistance!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
