Community Peace and Justice - from a Faith Perspective

Dietrich Bonhoeffer – (4 February 1906 – 9 April 1945) was a German pastor, theologian, intelligence agent, anti-Nazi dissident, and key founding member of the Confessing Church. His writings on Christianity’s role in the secular world have become widely influential, and his book The Cost of Discipleship has become a modern classic.   In this two week class we look at an overview of his story, look at some of his key contributions to 20th Century understanding of what it means to be a Christian, and consider what messages he would have for us today.
