And the best one ever! Thank you for all the help and the post!

* Yes, I know everyone and their brother has a substack.. and I'm not one for conforming, but..

So yeah.. lots of work behind me, but much more ahead. The first newsletter will be published on 9 April 2026. I'll let followers know when it is out.

For the Bonhoeffer community, any news you would like to send me, send here:
bonhoefferbulletin@outlook.com

I am also going to include news on podcasts, websites, events, conferences, & much more, so those on their own Bonhoeffer journeys can find resources that are beneficial and helpful as they venture further down this path. Misinformation is everywhere, I want the newsletter to be a reliable resource

them. Such as, "Who was Adalbert Stifter and why was he an important author to Dietrich Bonhoeffer?" In another post, I reconstruct a music book of spirituals given to Bonhoeffer into a playlist so we can better understand the music he was introduced to in New York. And more essays each month..

So..the big project I am nervous about is this: I'm starting a Bonhoeffer Substack*. It's going to be slightly different than other Bonhoeffer stuff, as I am a social historian. I'm going to dive into the world of the Bonhoeffer family and bring you a short essay each month about the world around..

He is wearing a light gray stripped three peice suit, white collared dress shirt and stripped tie. He is standing outside in front of a light coloured building.

Sunday Bonhoeffer:

"Will our inner strength to resist what has been forced on us have remained strong enough, and our honesty with ourselves blunt enough, to find our way back to simplicity and honesty?"

Very talented!!

I love the sign. The motto of our fantasy football team, The Bacardi Broncos, is "We Don't Like You Either."

Heeyyyy!!!

That's wonderful!

Thanks, Rebel. Even though it's resolved, I will still let her know. Thanks again.

For the last couple of months, it seems that I have been very busy doing work for others... today, I got to spend the day working on a project that I'm nervous and excited about.. and it's for me... my work! I need to do this more. Instead of feeling exhausted tonight... I feel energized.

Sunday Bonhoeffer:
"The broken character of the order of peace is expressed in the fact that the peace command by God has two limits, first truth and secondly justice. There can only be community of peace when it does not rest on lies and injustice."

No Rusty Swords:Letters,Lectures &Notes 1928-36

Agreed!

Every morning is a surprise in the worst timeline.

Man, I wish I was closer.. a box full of Bonhoeffer and Merton!! Someone is going to luck out!

Searching for Christ in the Discussion of Christian Nationalism: A Tale of Two Books One relies heavily on the words of Jesus, the other not at all. Guess which one!

Great post by @philinvestigates.com! It really makes clear the theological and intellectual bankruptcy of modern Christian Nationalism.

I think about this song every damn day!

One of my favorite albums. Again, I'm getting old!

*I know I posted that I intended to post this quote yesterday, but it turns out that the older you get, the longer it takes to recover from a weekend in the great winter outdoors!

A black and white photo of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and boys from the confirmation class he taught in 1931. Bonhoeffer is a white male with thinning blond hair and wearing glasses. He is standing at the back of a group of boys that look to be 12-14. They are dressed in sweaters and trousers. They are standing outside and look like they are in the countryside.

Sunday Bonhoeffer:Tuesday edition*

"Recently I took several of them out of the city for two days; tomorrow it's another group's turn. This time together was very enjoyable for us."

25 December 1931 letter from Bonhoeffer to his friend Erwin Sutz about the boys in his confirmation class.

Lol!!! OK.. I'll give you a day.. my kit hasn't dried out yet!!

I can snowshoe and make hotdogs..

A black and white photo of Dietrich Bonhoffer and a group of young people. They look like they were out for a hike. Bonhoeffer is in a long black coat and hiking socks and boots. The boys around him are wearing hiking socks, shoes, and sweaters. They are sitting by a body of water and look happy!

Sunday Bonhoffer will be postponed till tomorrow. I have spent 3 days on a winter camping excursion with the cadet corps I volunteer with. It was fun and cold.

Investing time in helping and encouraging youth was important to Bonhoeffer, so I think he would be cool with the late post!
