It is simply saying that there may be oc casions when the only hope for our society lies outside of exist ing laws. TTie church isn’t even advo cating active resistance — just refusal to obey laws that lead men to sin against God and one another. No one should pretend that civil disobedience is a “right” of citizens. It is exactly what it says — outside present laws. The danger in such a position is that some may not try any re form under the present legal sys tem but move directly to active disobedience in any and all mat ters. Just for the sake of disobeying and defying all authority and maybe even working for bad laws. But the churches have in sisted that civil disobedience is always a last resoit after every other means has been exhausted. It is not to be taken lightly or cheaply but used by honest men with much discretion. Civil disobedience is dangerous from another angle also. Who is to determine when it is time to go against the present system of things? That is not easy to answer. Is this to be left to the individual conscience or a con cerned church or a small but vocal minority or outside agita tion? It may be that no man liv ing has the answer to such a question. Yet, history has proved that ground swells of social change have a way of rising up and changing the Roman Empire and Europe and England and even Russia and the United States. Who knows where it comes from or what it will be next? It may- even be the Spirit of God bring ing in his kingdom and calling us to task where we are short. Civil disobedience is a danger ous position no one denies that. It can be easily understood. It has no exact guide lines or time schedules. Yet if we do not allow for civil disobedience we find . ourselves saying, "My country, right or wrong, first, last and always." That sounds patriotic but it may also be ungodly. Anyone who does more than just surface thinking on the sub ject will have to leave room for civil disobedience. If we do not leave room for it then that means blindly following a government and glibly accepting any and all laws which are enacted by that government regardless of their consequences. This becomes known as Quietism. The prime example of this was Nazi Germany. The people ^f that counti-y saw Hitler take over. They saw rights and reli gion removed. They saw Jews be ing carted off to the “death" camps. They saw a giant war ma chine erected. They knew what* was going on but they raised no voice of protest or act of disobe dience until it was too late. They were quiet through it all on the assumption that no one has the right to question a legally consti tuted government much less defy it with acts of civil disobedience. Many people today ask, “Where was the church in Germany- through all of this?” The answer is the church was exactly where many people today want it, sit ting quietly in its own little cor ner above and beyond it all. It is not beyond the imagina tion for us to conceive of our selves waking us one morning to find that good government with just laws has been replaced by a demonic government with all of the horrors that that can mean: no just recourse or appeal; no property or rights of any kind; fighting wars and bent on woNd jiomination; pretending to be a master race and nation with all others good for nothing but to be our slaves; no say in our chil dren’s education or influence on their lives. Are we, in that day, to follow dumbly and commit sin after atrocious sin fully conscious of what we are doing yet never giving a care? Let us not rule out civil disobe dience as a last resort. It may be the tool of the liberal today. But tomorrow it may be’ the hope of the conservative.
