• Christmas in Prison

  
  this is just to say — Authority: 111
  Perhaps we dont truly appreciate Christmas. Dietrich Bonhoeffer spent a few in a concentration camp, yet seems to understand more than most. Now is not the season to celebrate some Galileans birthday for the sake of it, or simply "believing" in Gee-zuzz. It is about a dirty stable rather than a palace or Cedar Sinai. ...

• You are accepted.

  
  The Eagle & Child — Authority: 117
  The word of the day is “Hunkered”, as I have been hunkered down in a private study room in the library for most of the day.  I’m working on a paper for Christian Ethics. Actually, it’s a letter written to my church tradition (which happens to be a a mutt) as Dietrich Bonhoeffer , drawing exclusively from his ...

• Dare to Be a Sinner, Dare not to Stand Alone..

• Dietrich Bonhoeffer – select quotes

  
  Kevin Stilley Dot Com — Authority: 136
  The righteous man is the one who lives for the next generation. To understand reality is not the same as to know about outward events. It is to perceive the essential nature of things. The best-informed man is not necessarily the wisest. Indeed there is a danger that precisely in the multiplicity of his knowledge he ...
