Pacifism

Abstract

Sir: Mr. Frederick D. Wilhelmsen should share his oddly-titled piece ("Christian Pacifism: An Orthodox View") in the April issue with* some of the moralists who are losing both sleep and hair these days because they are too responsible to deal with contemporary warfare in so cavalier a fashion or to make such an easy translation from principle to program. And what a program! The massacre of the innocent, to put it simply. Though he terms it the "twilight of civilization* and strongly suspects that God has his plan in mind.
