John Dobos. delegate from Hungary Mr. John Dobos of Hungary
"Friends, first of all may present to you the kind greetings of the Hungarian church and of Hungarian Orthodox churches. Hungarian churches recognise the importance of the struggle for peace. They also recognise the fact that those peoples who are fighting for peace, must have closer contacts with each other, for the sake of promoting the cause of peace. For this reason, we have assembled here, at your initiative. It is in the anxiety of preserving and strengthening peace, between men and nations and what is more, we want to take part in this attempt though not unreservedly.
Our churches believe in solidarity of our people who have got tired of conflicts and are seeking peace. We want to avoid possibility of a terrible world catastrophe which man has never seen before. This induces us to preach peace. We are living for peace and work for the same with our whole might, so we do it and the church cannot do otherwise. Let us plant love into the heart of man in place of hatred. We see this suffering and want to alleviate it. This is the task of our churches and all other religions also believe in this.
We are convinced of the possibility of the use of A.Bombs. We will be so much more safe if we were to bombard this world with the bombs of love. According to our Christian faith, God is love, God loves this world, God loves every man and every nation without any exception. He loves not only those who believe in Him but He also loves those who do not believe in Him.
We shall also love God but we cannot love God if we hate our fellowmen. How much do we love God is always shown by how much we are able to love our fellowmen. This is written in our holy Bible. Let us, therefore love, because God loves all. If any man says, I love God and hates his brother, he is wrong. If he cannot love his brother whom he sees, how can he love God whom he sees not? This is the commandment from God. He who loves God also loves his brother. It is a sacred and pleasant task for all people because man should love his fellow beings if he is to believe In God. It is in the interest of the divine command that we have to put our best, otherwise we cannot really serve the cause of peace between men and nations. We have come from very long distance, from a far away land, from Hungary, as representatives of our churches for we came to know that you in India too believe in the same commandment so that we may help you in this. We pray to God that He may
bless us all."
