5.6.11

Too late...

This poem is by Martin Niemöller (A German pastor who realised all too late the action that should have been taken by the true Church of Germany to oppose Nazism.)

“First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me.”

For whom are the church called to speak out today?
