Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Bonhoeffer was a theologian, pastor, and spy who was killed on April 9, 1945. One of the most important Christian writers of the 20th century, he is a unifying figure between conservative and liberal Christians, and is admired for his courageous stand against the Nazi Régime. He pleaded for a faith demonstrated through actions (though they be unpopular) and exemplified a complete trust in God's love and care for God's world, as witnessed to and by his Son, Jesus Christ.
Our congregation may well be the only church outside Europe to bear his name.
