Quote of the Moment

[joannaalbert]

"Only the Church stood squarely across the path of Hitler's campaign for suppressing truth. I never had any special interest in the Church before, but now I feel a great affection and admiration because the Church alone has had the courage and persistence to stand for intellectual truth and moral freedom. I am forced thus to confess that what I once despised I now praise unreservedly."
~Albert Einstein quoted in a 1940 TIME article on the Confessing Church in Germany
