‘Hope and a passion for the possible’, Paul Oestreicher

Paul Oestreicher: ‘JB last summer faced the World Council of Churches in Sweden with one of its few moments of truth: “I shall not listen to what you have to say but watch closely what you do”. He was speaking for millions and, as a man without a Christian label, with the voice of Jesus of Nazareth’.
