The MRA men, led by Buckman, quietly brought together large numbers of French and German leaders in a Swiss hotel. Robert Schuman of France and Konrad Adenauer headed their groups. Quietly and patiently, their differences were confronted and ironed out. In that great post-war crisis, no church did anything. Moral Re-Armament did something remarkable.
Christians have a duty to call attention to error, but also to see the good such groups often do.
Andrew Sandlin urged me to write about this. The dinner table conversation of five of us included my comments on a certain type of sheep common to old Armenia. In the spring, my father, like other young pre-school boys, would be given a half a dozen or so sheep to graze in the mountains. This was on the mountain next to Ararat. In the spring, the sheep had no tail, only a fleshly button where the tail should be.
