Bonhoeffer's involvement in the conspiracy against the Nazis becomes tangible above all in his theological reflections and pastoral conversations. This makes it clear that he increasingly became the Christian conscience and pastor of the military resistance.

Dietrich B. 80 - LECTURE AND PODIUM DISCUSSION RADICAL INTENTION AND THE HOPE ABOUT IT: WHAT BONHOEFFER HAS TO SAY TODAY
Saturday, May 10, 2025 6:00 p.m.

Lecture: Prof. Dr. Heike Springhart (Bishop of the Protestant Church in Baden) Panel: Dr. Kristin Jahn (General Secretary of the German Protestant Church Congress) | retired pastor Christian Wolff (consultant for church, politics and culture) | Johannes von Dohnanyi (journalist, author and great-nephew of Dietrich Bonhoeffer)

Community hall of St. Thomas Church Leipzig, Dittrichring 12 Tickets: EUR 15 (EUR 10 reduced) at https://www.eventim-light.com/de/a/646df6677c8b771e1c81de65/e/67d41216ffed4a6d80881be7

Christian faith and Christian responsibility live from both: a radical and sober view of the challenges of the present and the fact that more and different things can be expected from a Christian perspective. Based on Bonhoeffer's ideas of a "radical this-worldliness" and the idea of the "cicatrization of guilt", current ethical challenges are examined and the question asked as to what Bonhoeffer has to say to us today.
