Nathan Rein Junior professor of religious studies at a small Pennsylvania college.
"There is no way to peace along the way of safety. For peace must be dared: it is the great venture; it can never be safe. Peace is the opposite of security... To look for guarantees is to want to protect oneself. Peace means to give oneself altogether to the law of God, wanting no security, but in faith and obedience laying the destiny of the nations in the hand of Almighty God... Battles are won, not with weapons, but with God." (Dietrich Bonhoeffer, August 1934, Fanø)
