April 9: Dietrich Bonhoeffer, pastor, scholar, community-builder, martyr

Shame on me. Were it not for Padre Mickey, I would have forgotten that it was the feast of one of my favorite theologians, Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

And although it is now the 10th in the evening, I am posting this with a date of April 9, because I did visit Padre Mickey's Dance Party on day of the feast.

So thanks to Mickey for this.

And here is a link to my Bonhoeffer post from last year. It's long, so maybe it's good for two feasts.

We give thanks, O giver of life,
for Dietrich our brother,
disciple of Jesus,
proclaimer and doer of the Word,
witness to Cross and Resurrection.
In Christ's name, Amen.
