Quotations

"The war has hardly spared a person, without consideration for good and bad, poor or rich, condition or class, Christian or heathen. Gone are our homes, possessions, cultural properties; professional prospects are hopeless, health is ruined; humans, who once stood near, are dead in far places." (sermon "Christian Experience of Life in Modern Times")
