In "Jesus & Non-Violence" by Walter Wink, the author takes this a step farther; saying that while Christians should *always* practice an active, confrontational non-violence, they must *never* advocate a passive peace (lack of tension or confrontation or even violence) if doing so sides with the oppressor and not the oppressed. Christians are called to stand with the oppressed through creative methods of non-violent resistance. As a saint says, "If they come for the innocent and do not pass over our bodies , then cursed be our religion."

It's not like Yes on 8 picked up 10,000 pennies from the bowl next to the cash register at El Coyote. She sent them a check, directly acting both to support this initiative and convince others to support it.
