Colin Ward

Colin Ward has died. This is a sad thing indeed he was great. You may well have read 'anarchy in action' by Ward. He was known best for his writings on architecture and for being an editor of the East London anarchist magazine, Freedom.

One of my favourite anarchist misquotes that I appropriate theologically is "the kingdom of God is always with us, like seeds beneath the snows of injustice." He wrote something more like, "an anarchist society is always with us, like seeds beneath the snow."
