On July 28, 2007, John Cock's daily reflection stated:
>>>>>
Thy Will Be Done
>
If your opponent has a conscience, then follow Gandhi and nonviolence.
But if your enemy has no conscience, like Hitler, then follow
Bonhoeffer.~attributed to Martin Luther King, Jr.
>
> “Observe, weigh up, decide and act”: those words, written by
> Bonhoeffer relative to discerning God’s will, led to his execution,
> because he “acted” by joining the plot on Hitler’s life.~jpc
>
> “Thy will be done” can be a dangerous prayer.Namaste.

We two huddled in front of John Cock's recent reflection. We found
ourselves in agreement with MLK, and wanting to hear the social
dialogue that would relate current moral dilemmas to Bonhoeffer's
decision process: What actions are required of (us) relative to:
(sample moral dilemmas)
Global terrorists
Healthcare CEO's and lobbyists
Those who oppose the eradication of homelessness
Sex offenders
Those who would subpoena Michael Moore for his actions
...and something about uncare for Mother Earth
