SUMMARY:Dietrich Bonhoeffer - A Life and Legacy
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a three-part evening series exploring the extraordinary life\, faith\, and moral courage of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. A Lutheran\, German pastor and theologian\, Dietrich was executed by the Nazis in April 1945\, just two weeks before Allied forces liberated the Flossenbürg concentration camp where he spent his final hours. \nWhat could lead a young\, conservative Lutheran from an erudite\, influential Berlin family to join a plot against Adolf Hitler? Why do Bonhoeffer’s writings continue to challenge and inspire people across political\, theological\, and cultural divides today? And how might his story help us wrestle with questions of conscience\, community\, and courage in our own time? \nLed by Rev. John Matthews\, past president of the International Bonhoeffer Society (English Language Section) and retired ELCA pastor and religion instructor at Augsburg University\, this series will trace Bonhoeffer’s remarkable journey and the enduring impact of his thought. Rev. Matthews knew members of Bonhoeffer’s family and colleagues from the Confessing Church\, offering rare personal insight into his life and legacy. \nPURCHASE TICKETS \nSession I – Ambiguous Inspiration (Nov. 18)\nWe begin with Bonhoeffer’s biography: his family roots\, early education\, theological formation\, and work within the Confessing Church. His eventual involvement in military counterintelligence and his death by hanging in April 1945 reveals a life full of conviction and contradiction. His story offers what Rev. Matthews calls it “ambiguous inspiration.” \nSession II – A Tapestry of Opposites (Nov. 25) \nThis session delves into the personal and theological tensions that defined Bonhoeffer’s life and the conflicting experiences within his family\, friendships\, education\, vocation and theology\, examining Bonhoeffer as a “tapestry of opposites. \nSession III – Enlightened Patriot or Misguided Traitor? (Dec. 2) \nIn his final years\, Bonhoeffer moved from pacifist theologian to active participant in the resistance. His choice to cooperate with military intelligence opens up the question for us to ask: Was Bonhoeffer an enlightened patriot or a misguided traitor? Together\, we’ll explore the complexity of his final act of conscience and its continuing relevance for today.
