Spirit Garage Book Discussion with Bethlehem folx
The whole of Bethlehem Lutheran Church Twin Cities is participating in this theme, so we will join the book discussion at Bethlehem Lyndale campus (in Langemo room). Professor Gregory Walter from St. Olaf will lead us through the chapters with a presentation along with time for discussion and questions.
This autumn at Spirit Garage we will explore “Life Together,” through the lens of a short and insightful book by Deitrich Bonhoeffer that wrestles with what Christian community looks like. Christian community isn’t an “ideal” community that always behaves the way you want it to, but it is a “Spiritual” community that is sometimes messy.
Bonhoeffer was a Lutheran Theologian in Germany during WW2, where he was one of the people who started the “confessing church,” which arose in resistance to Nazi Germany, which desired to have a unified, pro-nazi German-Evangelical Church (a form of Christian Nationalism). Bonhoeffer wrote “Life Together” while he taught at an underground seminary.
