I’m logged onto something called Daily Dig - a kind of ‘thought for the day’ drawn from a wide range of writers, sacred and secular, provided by the Bruderhof communities, www.bruferhof.com

These German Mennonite communities were founded by Eberhard Arnold, a German evangelist at the time of world war 1 and the inter-war years. They are a rich mine of spiritual depth, and a prophetic voice to church and state in our times. Very appropriate to the emerging church (which they are, in themselves).

I would like to draw attention to this particular article, The Cellar and the Cross, which was itself linked to today’s Daily Dig - 21 March. It seemed appropriate to the discussion on whether a Christian can support war.
