“Would they ever have dared mock Islam in a similar way?”

[Shane Claiborne @ShaneClaiborne]

On April 9, 1945, Dietrich Bonhoeffer was executed, by hanging, for his resistance to the Nazis.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer studied theology in Germany and the United States and pastored a church in London before returning to Germany as a leader of the Confessing Church, which tried to resist Adolf Hitler. Though Bonhoeffer returned to Germany a pacifist, he became a resistance worker and was part of a failed plot to assassinate Hitler (for the record, I think his decision to try and assassinate Hitler was a mistake... something I wrote about in Jesus For President). Nonetheless, he has so much to teach us about community, discipleship, and nonviolence.
It was actually his evasion of the call-up for military service that led to his arrest.

Perhaps he died because of his political convictions and not as a Christian martyr, but he would have said that there is no distinction between the two.

His book Life Together is one of the first books we read together as we started The Simple Way.

Here are a few of my favorite Bonhoeffer quotes:
“We are not to simply bandage the wounds of victims beneath the wheels of injustice, we are to drive a spoke into the wheel itself.”
“The ultimate test of a moral society is the kind of world that it leaves to its children.”

"The first service that one owes to others in the fellowship consists of listening to them. Just as love of God begins with listening to his word, so the beginning of love for our brothers and sisters is learning to listen to them."

"Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline, Communion without confession, absolution without personal confession. Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ."

"One act of obedience is better than one hundred sermons."

Amen.

Kindness is loaning someone your strength rather than reminding them of their weakness.
