🧵Excellent question! This is what I would call a Lutheran divine mystery. “the fact that nothing has been [divinely] commanded or enjoined upon us concerning the dead. Therefore all this may be safely omitted, even if it were no error and idolatry.”(Source: bookofconcord.org/smalcald-art... )

The coffee hour vibe is sharing the love of Christ and being neighborly.

Omg at the point where they have a pastor say the Martin Niemöller confession “first they came for” (which was after the war,) in 1934 during a sermon with the Gestapo present?

One of the craziest things about the Bonhoeffer movie is the timeline is completely discontinuous. In 1934 supposedly he played a recording of a rendition of Swing Low Sweet Chariot by Paul Robeson which was published in 1949? The eastern front (in 34???) is mentioned in the same segment.

🧵The relationship between Lutheranism and economic justice needs more focus: "Christians are to be taught that he who sees a man in need, and passes him by, and gives [his money] for pardons, purchases not the indulgences of the pope, but the indignation of God" (45th - 95 Theses) #Lutheran #ELCA

For those of you looking to refuse the Bonhoeffer movie's "dangerous and grievous misuse of his theology and life." The Bonhoeffer Society has a petition: www.change.org/p/stop-misus... #ELCA Please share, as led.

🧵When we think of the 5th commandment "Thou Shalt Not Kill," Luther reminds us that it is not merely the act in and of itself which is forbidden; but also, that we must act such "that the heart be not ill disposed toward anyone," in a manner which could potentially lead to violence. #Lutheran #elca
