Synopsis
Excerpt from Report on the Quinquennial Meetings: Rapport De L'assembl e Quinquennal; Bericht ber Die Generalversammlung; Rome 1914
What is to be the attitude of Christian men and women and of all who believe in the brotherhood of humanity? In the distress and perplexity of this new situation, many are so stunned as scarcely to be able to discern the path of duty. In the sight of God we should seek to get back to first principles, and to determine on a course of action which shall prove us to be worthy citizens of His Kingdom. In making this effort let us remember those groups of men and women in all the nations concerned, who will be animated by a similar spirit, and who believe with us that the fundamental unity of the family of God is the one enduring reality, even when we are forced into an apparent denial of it.
Although it would be premature to make any pronouncement upon many aspects of the situation on which we have no suffi cient data for a reliable judgment, we can, and do, call ourselves and you to a consideration of certain principles which may safely be enunciated.
