In every child there lives a love for the earth, a joy in the starry universe, an enthusiastic interest in the mysteries of atoms and organisms; all this is ready to come to life in each child as love to God and to Christ.

- Eberhard Arnold Salt and LightYour life will have a kind of perfection, although you will not be a saint. The perfection will consist in this: you will be very weak and you will make many mistakes; you will be awkward, for you will be poor in spirit and hunger and thirst for justice. You will not be perfect, but you will love. This is the gate and the way. Whatever you desire for yourself, wish the same for others. If you expect something from people, give the same to them. There is nothing greater than love. There is nothing more holy than love. There is nothing more true than love, nothing more real. So let us hand our lives over to love and seal the bond of love.

Yesterday's quote
May 12,2026
We all have the impression more and more that it is not much help to us to go into an abstract analysis of how this Spirit works and takes shape. But we do need one another, we who are under the freeing and liberating influences of this Spirit. We want to know one another and experience together what the life-giving Spirit does amongst us.

That great new thing which is germinating and sprouting everywhere has not yet taken shape. We know that a strong religious wave is in the process of growing. We know that it is the Spirit of Christ which storms over us as anew, fresh wind, though we cannot or will not say whence it comes or whither it goes. It is the Spirit of the same Jesus who brought into reality a life and death of complete and unconditional love. It is the all-embracing Spirit of the Logos of Christ through which all things which exist came into being.
- Eberhard Arnold
