YouTube description
This is a 9 min talk I gave on Christian nonviolence at the annual Q conference in 2016. It was in response to a previous talk giving by Doug Wilson at the same conference. Doug argued that gun ownership is a Christian virtue, and I argued that nonviolence should be the dominant rhythm of American Christianity, even though it's not.
Doug and I had a fun series of blog exchanges after the conference. Here are the links to mine; you'll find the links to Doug's blogs therein.
