[Propertalk] 2 Lent a 2017 - part 2

[Joe Parrish]

Hi Bob,
I think it was called the Confessing Church, and Bonhoeffer was one of their pastors, and a Lutheran.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dietrich_Bonhoeffer

Re: "Dietrich Bonhoeffer (German: [ˈdiːtʁɪç ˈboːnhœfɐ]; 4 February 1906 – 9 April 1945) was a German Lutheran pastor, theologian, anti-Nazi dissident, and key founding member of the Confessing Church."


More on the White Rose group is here:

And here is a more detailed biography of Sophie Scholl:


"Scholl was brought up in the Lutheran church. "
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophie_Scholl



Bonhoeffer was a professor at my seminary, Union in New York, beside Columbia University, went back to Germany to try to undermine Hitler, and was martyred.


Thanks for publicizing this amazing story of the German youth martyrs.


One of their leaders Alexander Schmorell was honored recently by the Orthodox Church:
"In 2012, he was glorified as a Passion bearer by the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia."

Peace and blessings,
Joe

I checked three sites, Joe. One says she was a devout Catholic, the other that she'd been brought up Lutheran, and I didn't see any signs of her having joined the RC church. The other didn't specifically mention a denomination.


I'll keep digging and, I hope, get a correct version before Sunday!


Thanks for the heads up!


Bob

 Hi Bob,
 I read the comments at the end of the article you cited and saw this, which no one disputed later:

  It says she was motivated by Blessed John Henry Newman and the Bishop of Munster, but she was not a Catholic. She was Lutheran. 
  Maybe check further if this is indeed correct, but I think it does make sense that she was a Lutheran.
 Peace and blessings,
 Joe
