Opening Questions

Dietrich Bonhoeffer	Bonhoeffer (1906-45) was a German theologican active in the underground resistance to the Nazis during World War Two. He was executed just a few days before the end of the war, after having been implicated in a failed coup. He coined the term "religionless Christianity" to express his sense of the radical transformation required of Christianity in the modern world. The website for the Bonhoeffer Society has a range of resources about Bonhoeffer and his legacy. See 30 April 1944 from his Letters from Prison. Extracts from Bonhoeffer's letters (from Keith McPaul, Maleny) The Augsburg/Fortress site has further resources related to the legacy of Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
