Someone sent me this quote recently from Dietrich Bonhoeffer:
"The church is the church only when it exists for others. It must share in the secular problems of ordinary life, and it must tell men of every calling what it means to live in Christ."
What do you think?
Bonhoeffer was a WWII era German protestant pastor who was executed by the Nazis for his resistance to their movement. He was hung just three weeks before Berlin fell.
If you have never read his book, Cost of Discipleship, it was one of the formative reads of my young spiritual life.
