His presentation entitled, "Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Worldly Christianity: Beyond Evangelical Conservatism and Liberal Modernism," will bring Bonhoeffer's legacy into today. Even those new to Bonhoeffer will find inspiration in the questions Bonhoeffer asked and the sacrifices he made.
What would Bonhoeffer make of today's moral questions? Stay for lunch (RSVP for your meal at conference2012@saintansgar.org) and a lively panel discussion moderated by Dr. Janet V. Gunn, former chair of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and a Visiting Professor of English at Birzeit University in Ramallah.
