Dietrich is intense! I've continued to read Life Together as I prepare for this Tuesday's meditation in chapel. His vision for Christian community is a high calling, all focused on Jesus, learning to be for Christ and for the other. Would that I would gain such a vision!
"Christian community is not an ideal which we must realize; it is rather a reality created by God in Christ in which we may participate. The more clearly we learn to recognize that the ground and strength and promise of all our fellowship is in Jesus Christ alone, the more serenely shall we think of our fellowship and pray and hope for it." (Bonhoeffer: Life Together, 30)
Preach, Dietrich.
Amen, Bonhoeffer does it again:)
