“Is not this the fast which I have chosen: To loosen the bonds of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, to free the oppressed and break every yoke?”
~Isaiah 58:6
Note: Pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a founding member of Germany’s anti-Nazi Confessing Church and author of the theological classic The Cost of Discipleship. He was sent to a concentration camp, continued to resist, and was finally executed–just three weeks before Hitler committed suicide. Bonhoeffer won.

Thank you so much for sharing this, Rita. Douglass is one of my all-time heroes, and now so are his descendants. I got choked up when the kid said, “There’s hope.”

Bonhoeffer was certainly a prime example of walking his talk. Thanks for this reminder if our call to do the same.
