Quotation Marks
Selections from Christian leaders during the Iraq War
May 1, 2003
"Prayer works. It's why we use it as a first resort. It's the only viable means of defending our boys."
"I have a problem with violence as well, but we also have to be realistic. Peace sometimes just cannot be found and sometimes you have to show your muscle."
"I arrived in Iraq a pacifist Christian and left Iraq as a Bonhoeffer Christian."
"Everybody is praying to whomever they claim is the sovereign God, so we all agree that however this comes out, it will be God's will."
