ABSTRACT

The author calls himself a "religious" anarchist at the risk of evoking the usual misconceptions associated with that term. He certainly not an individualist in the sense that some other comrades have recently used the word; rather he believe that the idea of community is an important as the idea of freedom in the practical implications of anarchism. The author journey towards anarchism was complex, gradual, in the end climactic, yet overall it was a logical progression. As a young Christian pacifist with vaguely socialistic ideas and a natural sympathy for the underdog, he was thrust suddenly in the harsh reality of a colonialist setup. He have been disillusioned with all this, but more positively he have been recaptured by God. He think it is the regimentation of authoritarianism, in religious as well as in secular affairs, which destroys man's innate capacity to respond positively to the goodness in his own soul, and rots his faculties of spiritual awareness.
