So the Christian, too, belongs not in the seclusion of a cloistered life but in the thick of foes. There is his commission, his work.

But the Christian also knows that he not only cannot and dare not be anxious, but that there is no need for him to be so. Neither anxiety now work can secure his daily bread, for bread is the gift of the Father.

It is the fellowship of the Cross to experience the burden of the other. If one does not experience it, the fellowship he belongs to is not Christian. If any member refuses to bear that burden, he denies the law of Christ.

Principles are only tools in the hands of God; they will soon be thrown away when they are no longer useful.

Judging others makes us blind, whereas love is illuminating.

The church has an unconditional obligation to the victims of any ordering society, even if they do not belong to the Christian community.

Politics are not the task of a Christian.
