Bonhoeffer
(icon by Lewis Williams )
Dietrich Bonhoeffer was hanged on April 9 shortly before allies liberated his interment camp. He is someone who struggled with the meaning of nonviolence in the midst of Nazi rule.
He represents for me the struggle of what and when and how nonviolence is applied. The tension of these questions is reflected in a lot of threads on this site, so I share this on Good Friday with my Soulforce cadres.
