Christian leftism: what is Christian anarchism?

Broadly speaking, an anarchist society is
1. a non-coercive anti-hierarchical society....
2. ...achieved without the traditional state apparatus...
3. ...in which members choose voluntarily to participate.
Christian anarchism is a form of anarchism based on Christian principles. Like other forms of anarchism it is non-hierarchical in structure, voluntary in participation, and communal in organization.
Christian anarchism is strongly egalitarian and socially revolutionary, rejecting any ethically unjustifiable hierarchies, and recognizing God as the only supreme authority. Christian anarchism emphasizes voluntarism and freedom of conscience, rejecting any forms of social organization by force, and typically upholds a strong separation between church and state.
Christian anarchism also opposes military conscription and participation in the military, but promotes civil disobedience, passive resistance, and revolution by personal example rather than coercion. Leo Tolstoy was an early Christian anarchist, and his book “The Kingdom of God Is Within You”, published in 1894, was an influential work on the movement. Gandhi himself acknowledged being influenced by Tolstoy.
