February Forums
Reading Bonhoeffer in America 2025
Jan. 26: Feb. 2,16 : Mar. 2
11:15am After Service
Professor Emeritus of Social Ethics, Larry Rasmussen is also a leading scholar in the witness and work of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the German theologian and pastor who was part of the Resistance movement against the Nazis and who paid for his actions with his life. Larry has offered to lead a course this winter on an essay Bonhoeffer wrote as a Christmas gift to his co-conspirators and his family, four months before his arrest by the Gestapo. He focused on what the resisters and their supporters had learned in fighting fascism for ten years and what the experience has told them about their people and themselves. The Forum series starts this Sunday with an hourlong documentary about Bonhoeffer’s life and work, followed by a light lunch and discussion. Subsequent forums will focus on the essay. To help us plan, please sign up in the Community Room.
