Carol and I attended Earlham College – a school sponsored by the Society of Friends (Quakers). Some of our professors told of the WWI and post-war activities of the Quakers in feeding German children – who grew up to become part of the Wehrmacht. They were assisted in smuggling Jews out of Germany by these same folk who trusted them from the past. A similar pattern happened with the non-violent resistance of the community of Le Chambon (Lest Innocent Blood be Shed), where warning phone calls came before raids. Compassion links us to strange folk. No magic answers or escapes, but a trust in the underlying nature of reality… From: OE [mailto:oe-bounces@lists.wedgeblade.net] On Behalf Of Joan via OE Sent: Sunday, January 28, 2018 6:10 PM To: oe@lists.wedgeblade.net Cc: Joan Subject: [Oe List ...] Bonhoeffer Article shared by Edith Byers This article, "Is this a Bonhoeffer Moment?" from Sojourners magazine would probably be of interest.
