We must guard against the false notion that God is a purely transcendental power, removed from matter and the stuff of this earth. The coming community of life will be a kingdom of work on this earth. Work will be the binding factor in the cells of human community. The only work people can do with their whole soul, work full of spirit and pulsing life, comes from love. And there is no love that does not get to work.

- 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 peace of God, as the future of the kingdom of God, must penetrate and hold complete sway over world conditions. He who believes in the all-commanding might of God is filled with courage and certainty for the victory of His peace.

All spirits of human privilege and social injustice are repelled and driven out by the Holy Spirit. When we pray that God’s kingdom may come, we ought to pause and ask ourselves whether we are ready, whether we are willing to accept and to stand up for all the changes that God’s rulership brings with it.
