“Brothers and sisters, love the earth. Be true to the earth, and do not believe those seducers who look longingly to the world beyond, casting suspicion on this world. Jesus is the greatest friend of the earth-Jesus who again and again, in the original spirit of Judaism, proclaimed love for the soil and love for the land. "Blessed are the peacemakers," he said, "for they shall possess the earth."” WorldBelieveLooksSaidEarthSpiritJesusLandThis WorldBrotherAnd LoveOriginalsBlessedEnvironmentalBeing TrueSoilSuspicionAgain And AgainBrothers And SistersJudaismCastingPeacemakerSister Love Author:Eberhard Arnold
