Understanding The Three Dimensional Ways of Protesting - PST Banjo

The document discusses the three dimensions of protesting: 1) Protesting on land to call attention to physical authorities, 2) Protesting online to spread awareness to the wider world, and 3) Protesting through prayer to call upon spiritual authorities. Each dimension plays a distinct but complementary role in working towards a common goal of reform.
