A Third Way: What We Can Learn From the Amish Approach to Tech (Institute for Family Studies)

Thomas Sowell cuts through the two extremes here: “There are no solutions. There are only trade-offs.” If we are to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves, we must follow his advice. The dangers of both credulous embrace and reactionary rejection of new technology raise the need for a third way. And despite their caricature as eschewers of all innovation, Amish communities approach technol

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“Those sentimental radio hits, with their artificial naivete and empty crudities, are the pitiful remains and the maximum that people will tolerate by way of mental effort; it's a ghastly desolation and impoverishmment. By contrast, we can be very glad when something affects us deeply, and regard the accompanying pains as an enrichment.”
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Letters and Papers from Prison

“Radical skepticism is no more critical than is credulity.”
Craig A. Evans, Fabricating Jesus: How Modern Scholars Distort the Gospels

Walter Wink
“...Jesus did not advocate nonviolence merely as a technique for outwitting the enemy, but as a just means of opposing the enemy in such a way as to hold open the possibility of the enemy's becoming just as well. Both sides must win. We are summoned to pray for our enemies' transformation, and to respond to ill-treatment with a love that not only is godly but also, I am convinced, can only be found in God.”
Walter Wink, Jesus and Nonviolence: A Third Way

Martin Luther King Jr.
“Wherever the early Christians entered a town the power structure got disturbed and immediately sought to convict them for being 'disturbers of the peace' and 'outside agitators.' But they went on with the conviction that they were a 'colony of heaven' and had to obey God rather than man. They were small in number but big in commitment. They were too God-intoxicated to be 'astronomically intimidated.' They brought an end to such ancient evils as infanticide and gladiatorial contest. Things are different now. The contemporary Church is so often a weak, ineffectual voice with an uncertain sound. It is so often the archsupporter of the status quo. Far from being disturbed by the presence of the Church, the power structure of the average community is consoled by the Church’s silent and often vocal sanction of things as they are.”
Martin Luther King Jr., Letter from the Birmingham Jail
