3 Days 3 Quotes Challenge – Day 1
My blogging friend Clive with his blog “Take it Easy” has challenged me to this quote challenge. I would like to take part but I will bend the rules to let people take the challenge as they read my post finding it difficult to ask. Thank you, Clive, for asking me!
Last year I took part in one of the many WordPress writing courses and of the assignments was to be inspired by quotes. Today I will link to that post as old posts are seldom given the opportunity to be seen. I chose Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the German priest and martyr during WWII.
Today we still have to fight for our right to express our opinions in speech and writing. Bonhoeffer will forever be a role model to follow.

Thoughts about Bonhoeffer. Please feel free to take up the challenge to bring quotes. The rules can be found at Clives’ post.

From one Heart to Another 
Bonhoeffer became a hero of mine after I read the great biography by Eric Metaxas a few years ago. When I was in Berlin last year, I tried to get to his family home in Charlottenburg but was thwarted by a transit strike.

Thank you Ian for your comment. I am going to Berlin in a week’s time maybe I can find some traces of him. On my picture from Westminster Abbey. If you don’t know he is among the martyrs on the colonnade you will never notice it

Yes–I never knew he had that little figure amongst the martyrs of Westminster Abbey…

The figures are over size humans and he is so similar to the pictures of him

By the way I would like to read that biography you mentioned. I have one a new and huge but also very “dry” as the author goes through all the theological stuff Bonhoeffer has written

It was a very moving book for me:

Maria, So glad you used this quote from Bonhoeffer. I have started to read and learn about him continuously this past year. He certainly was a man filled with the spirit of the creator. If you get a chance take a look at Feminist Friday. I mentioned you in that post.

Today more now than for many years we need to listen to Bonhoeffer and speak up. Particularly the rise of Nazism in the USA and also Germany. Even in Australia we have the growing emergence of the far right.
