The believing and loving people who are united in the holy flame protect not themselves but the flame of the Spirit which is the only assurance of true life. They do not seek to keep their own life; they seek alone that of the holy fire in which they have lost their own nature.

- Eberhard Arnold From a letter, March 1920How wonderful are the inner experiences of many in this dreadful time of war. In the midst of hell the eternal power of the kingdom of heaven has shown itself. Basically it is like this everywhere in our lives. In our hearts, in our work, everywhere, we are surrounded by hellish powers. Again and again, in spite of the prevailing conditions, we must keep watch over the kingdom of God.

The peace of God is the living, effective, infinitely rich and moving harmony of life to the full. “Whoso findeth me, findeth life”—that is the revelation it brings.

God does not work by only one method, paint in only one color, play in only in one key, nor does He make only one star shine onto the earth. God’s mystery is the rich spectrum of color that is gathered together in the purity of the sun’s white light. The symphonic harmony of all the stars is built up on precisely their manifold variety. But all this is gathered together and will be gathered together at the end of time in the unity of the kingdom of God.
