EmanuelNB / 2018 / September
they came for me

Then They Came For Me

Then they came for me.

This banner was displayed in front of Emanuel Lutheran Church in New Brunswick on our Christian Education Building. Pastor Martin Miemoller proclaimed these challenging words in response to the rise of Hitler and Nazi Germany in World War II.

Pastor Niemoller was a German anti-Nazi theologian and Lutheran pastor.

In this poem, Pastor Niemoller condemns the cowardice of German intellectuals and leaders of the Protestant churches and their complicity, following the Nazis' rise to power and their purging of various groups. For his role as an outspoken critic of Hitler, he spent the last seven years of Nazi rule in concentration camps.

No Borders

The Christian faith celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ and God’s promise to “make all things new.” As it symbolizes the resurrection of Christ, so too the butterfly conveys God’s, all-inclusive love. It also serves as a reminder that life and ministry are never restricted by artificially-imposed boundaries. This banner adorns the front of Emanuel Lutheran Church in New Brunswick and will be proudly displayed until Advent.
