“One thing, however, is sure: unless Christians fulfill their prophetic role, unless they become the advocates and defenders of the truly poor, witness to their misery, then, infallibly, violence will suddenly break out. In one way or another 'their blood cries to heaven,' and violence will seem the only way out. It will be too late to try to calm them and create harmony.” WayTryingSeemsChristianHeavenPoorRolesBreakViolenceOne ThingBloodCryLateHarmonyMiseryCalmWitnessOne WayToo LateDefendersBreak OutProphetic Author:Jacques Ellul
“I think Scandinavian Paganism, to us here, is more interesting than any other. It is, for one thing, the latest; it continued in these regions of Europe till the eleventh century; 800 years ago the Norwegians were still worshipers of Odin. It is interesting also as the creed of our fathers; the men whose blood still runs in our veins, whom doubtless we still resemble in so many ways.” ThinkingMenWayYearsStillsRunningFatherInterestingOne ThingBloodCenturyHe ManEuropeYears AgoRegionsCreedsVeinsOur FatherPaganismNorwegiansOdinScandinaviansWiccan Author:Thomas Carlyle
“Will you teach your children what we have taught our children? That the earth is our mother? What befalls the earth befalls all the sons of the earth. This we know: the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself. One thing we know: our god is also your god. The earth is precious to him and to harm the earth is to heap contempt on its creator.” KnowsMenChildrenDoeEarthMotherTeachOne ThingBloodTaughtSonAll ThingsOur ChildrenCreatorConnectedHarmYour ChildrenContemptStrandsWeb Of Life Author:Chief Seattle
