Here's why it's helpful for churches to call for the abolition of the police: (1) The call will be measurably ineffectual. (2) The call is faithful to the gospel. (3) The call will remind churches that it is not by might and power but by the Spirit that the peace of justice and the justice of peace come. (4) The call will remind us of the vulnerability of the human body, that every one of us is easy to kill.
