Dietrich Bonhoeffer Quotes:
Ocupation: Pastor
Life: February 4, 1906 - April 9, 1945
Birthday: February 4
Death: April 9
The church is only the church when it exists for others. To make a start, it should give away all its property to those in need. The clergy must live solely on the free-will offerings of their congregations, or possibly engage in some secular calling. The church must share in the secular problems of ordinary human life, not dominating, but helping and serving. It must tell men of every calling what it means to live in Christ, to exist for others.
