Church attendance … A political act?

27 06 2007

Church near Munich

“During the time of the Third Reich church attendance was being frowned upon by the National Socialist regime, and thus became a political act.”

- Footnote 19 on page 210 of Discipleship(Dietrich Bonhoeffer Works Vol 4)

Reading Bonhoeffer sends chills up my spine! While trying to discipline myself to finish a book for a change (rather than just scanning), I was surprised how even a footnote grabbed me.
