The Christ for whom you have waited and longed has found you and taken you by the hand. His Spirit has overpowered you and taken you under his leadership. What a joy for you and all those who love you! May the shining spirit of Jesus Christ bring to your heart ever anew the living word of truth.

- Eberhard Arnold, March 1935 God’s RevoutionTherefore we take no active part in politics or in the use of violence. We make no concessions, we refuse to get involved; but we are not indifferent. Every politician interests us, whoever he may be. And we wish everyone in politics could hear about us and realize that there is a life of justice and peace, where people have joy in one another. We wish that all policy-makers might be guided by these goals and not stray too far from the way of peace and justice.

The good human urge is only capable of realizing community and justice if in its deepest depths it allows itself to be overpowered and ruled by God’s urge, by the impulse of his Holy Spirit, by Christ who becomes man, so that God’s kingdom, Christ’s kingdom may come! In our humanness we lack the right expectation of what is to come, in the sense that it is from God, from the other world, from the powers of the future, that the kingdom of justice must and will burst in upon us – not through the efforts of good people.

True community exists only in this One, who is the spirit of freedom and unity. His coming preeminence is the one event everything is waiting for. It means the new kingdom as a fellowship of all mankind grounded in God, as love, as justice, as the unity of his reconciliation and peace.
