Sermon Follow-Up
From Sermon on March 9, 2025
In yesterday's sermon, we quoted an article written by Liam Siegler from The Gordon Review website. The quote was by Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and helps explain his theology of Christian Community as contained in his classic book, Life Together: The Classic Exploration of Christian Community. Please find the quote below:
"He who loves his dream of a community more than the Christian community itself becomes a destroyer of the latter, even though his personal intentions may be ever so honest and earnest and sacrificial."
