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 From a letter, July 1922Our life will become not narrower, but broader; not more limited, but more boundless; not more regulated, but more abundant; not more pedantic, but more bounteous; not more sober, but more enthusiastic; not more fainthearted, but more daring; not worse and more human, but filled with God and ever better; not sadder, but happier; not more incapable, but more creative. All this is Jesus and His Spirit of freedom! He is coming to us. Therefore let us forget. Let us forgive everyone, just as we must be forgiven everything, and go into the future radiant with joy!

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
