dear friends, we too in our camphill communities have experienced a similar attack of allegations which try to stiffle our human dealings and ultimately our spiritual striving.there is a wonderful passage in the new testament which not only spells out the real nature of opposing forces ,but also encourages and states a true path of action:it is in Paul's letter to the people of Ephesus[Ephesians 6 verses10 to20] .
" Finally, my brothers,be strong in the Lord,and in the power of his might.
Put on the whole armour of God,that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood ,but against Principalities,against Powers,against the Rulers of the darkness of this world;against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God,that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day,and having done all, to stand
. Stand ,therefore, having your loins girt about with Truth,and having on the breastplate of Righteousness,
And your feet shod with the Preparation of the Gospel of Peace,
Above all taking the shield of Faith,wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
And take the helmet of Salvation, and the sword of the spirit which is the Word of God;
Praying all prayer and supplication in the spirit;and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
And for me,that utterance may be given unto me,that I may open my mouth boldly,to make known the miracle of the gospel for which I am an ambassador in bonds, that therein I may speak boldly,as I ought to speak."

with love ,respect and best thoughts to you all and your master,susan pickard.
