Are you saying that buying Black Gospel records disqualifies Bonhoeffer as a conservative? Don’t Conservatives generally believe in the humanity of Jews and Blacks?

The reason Bonhoeffer made a point to attend a Harlem Church service is because he was disgusted with midtown’s liberal Rockefeller-backed Union Theological Seminary on Broadway at 121st Street.

Bonhoeffer was a conservative. It is a label but it fits him just like the label Christian. Both labels are imperfect and both describe many that are very different than Bonhoeffer but confined as we are to the bottleneck of the English language it is still proper and wise to use labels. It does not dishonor him.

If I knew nothing about Bonhoeffer other than his writings in THE COST OF DICIPLESHIP, I would still recognize him as a Conservative.

Your lack of comprehension is stunning.

I clearly stated:"He (Bonhoeffer) saw the humanity in all equally be they Jewish, or Black."

And then you ask me:

Don’t Conservatives generally believe in the humanity of Jews and Blacks?

If you want to have a discussion, please read what I said.
