Summary: April 9 is the anniversary of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's execution. Bonhoeffer was a Christian who refused to be conformed to the powers of this world, despite the capitulation or silence of most of the German church under Hitler. This episode honors Bonhoeffer by taking a look at how Government transforms a self-sacrificial, cross-bearing, service-oriented church into a morally consequentialist, ends-justify-the-means, capitulate for power, compromised organization of terror and sycophancy.
