Quote from Bonhoeffers "Letters and Papers from Prison"
Religionless Christianity
Barth didn't go far enough
the way history always is. We are what Bonhoeffer described
Christ happening is human happening
It happens in only world there is
We discover secular becomes transparent
It points to religious dimension of life.
The established church is just catching up with him.
It will happen all at once. We'll see crumbling of present manifestation
of the church. It has happened -- but we haven't seen it. We've
been thru it but the established church hasn't seen it.
It's true with our lives. Sam Hanson is key to job
being done tomorrow. There got to be a body of everyday men who
will carry the torch. We are building the new order of society.
The lawyers maintain it after we do it. You have a strange calling.
Bonhoeffer is just coming clear.
This is why Lens is absolute necessity.
S '71 was abstract sign of what had happened to us. We fell thru social to religious.
We'd been thinking theology for 20-30 years.
We put New Religious ? on secular (anthro) and we fell thru into religious.
Our lives are fate.
We would have projected piety into the world.
We've been there and have seen for ourselves.
Bonhoeffer would say show me.
We'd say "Stop looking." Death appears over
Suddenly awe appears.
It turns inward and meets his skin.
It meets objective and the 2 are together
He'd experienced himself as awe
In the midst of only world we know - law, market place is another world that's foundation of true religion and is home of true religious.
World has had a winter 73
The meek will inherit the earth, those who didn't
have it will have it.
