The center of this new people is the new fire of the new Church; once more there arises around it the dwelling-place of its community. Around the radiant fire of the Holy Spirit its spiritual temple is built up as a tangible house of God. It is the City on the Hill, whose light shines into all lands. Its place of worship burns in spirit; it shines in truth.

- Eberhard Arnold

The eye is created for the light. In the same measure that the life born of light gains ground, the eye becomes able to bear light.

- Eberhard Arnold

I can only say that I feel more and more certain and more and more happy in my inner calling to deeds in the love of Jesus, and to the discipleship of Christ in all aspects of practical life.
