By the way, it was seventy years ago today, on April 8th, 1945, that “Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Wilhelm Canaris, and other anti-Nazis were convicted and sentenced to death by an SS drumhead court-martial presided over by Otto Thorbeck. At dawn the next day...Bonhoeffer and Canaris [and others] were hanged in the Flossenbürg concentration camp. They were forced to strip naked before being taken to the gallows. The camp was liberated two weeks later by American forces.”

Perhaps we will have the sad role to see how this generation of Christians performs under the kind of real persecution endured by Bonhoeffer. I hope not, but the longer we take to clean up our own house and begin to do right, using the simple, peaceful political means we already possess, the more likely it becomes.
