How great are God and His kingdom! How great is the historical hour of world crisis, world distress and world catastrophe; how much greater still is God’s hour of judgment of the world and Christ’s hour of liberation that is coming! How burning our desire should be to know all these things more and more deeply and to share in them; how fervently we should expect and long for the day itself, the coming day, that will bring freedom and unity!

- Eberhard ArnoldWe experience that unity is at the same time agreement with the apostolic testimony of the New Testament, and agreement with the testimony of the future of the kingdom of God. Thus we experience unity not simply in the small circle of our community life, but as a unity that embraces all millennia; the spirit of inspired men and prophets; perfect unity with all original movements that were a spiritual uprising, with all movements, which sprang from the source, borne by the Holy Spirit and led by the inner light. We can testify that we have experienced that we become completely unanimous, when in the quiet hour the Spirit gives witness, and the light of Christ bursts into flame in our hearts, when in this silent concentrated attention the voice of Jesus speaks within us.

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.

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.
