There is only one true flight from the world; it is not an escape from conflict, anguish and suffering, but the flight from disunity and separation, to unity and peace in the love of other men. — Thomas Merton

The Pacifist, the Assassin, and the Will of God

Outside of reading The Cost of Discipleship and being aware of the general legendary respect given by many to Dietrich Bonhoeffer, I've never studied him. I've been working on this post for about an hour, and have decided to just give up trying to write it. This interview is compelling at so many levels, I don't know where to start talking about it.

And by the way, the documentary referenced in the interview is available at Netflix for instant viewing.
