John Howard Yoder on Diaspora Faithfulness - Anabaptist (Jeremiah 29:11)
Source: John Howard Yoder47 words
"Jeremiah tells the exiles: settle down, don't rebel, seek the city's good. This is the way of the diaspora community—faithful presence, not conquest. God's plan isn't to restore political power but to form a distinctive people wherever they are scattered." — John Howard Yoder.
