Despite everything, however, I
can only say I should not have
chosen to live in any other age
than our own, though it is so
regardless of our external

…Are we moving towards an
age of colossal organizations
and collective institutions, or
will the desire of multitudes for
small, manageable, personal
relationships be satisfied?

want a Church made of friendship,
of genuine contacts, of mutual
interchange of little things.

It’s not the church of God that has a mission,
but the God ofmission who has a churchTim Dearborn/Jurgen Moltmann/Robin Greenwood

Mission has its origin in the heart of God.
God is a fountain of sending love.
It is impossible to penetrate deeper still.
There is mission because God
loves people.

… it is not we who build. He
[Christ] wills to build the
church. No one builds the
church but Christ alone.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
July 1933

Whoever is minded to build
the church is surely well on
the way to destroying it; for
he will build a temple to
idols without wishing or
knowing it.Dietrich Bonhoeffer

We must confess — he
builds. We must proclaim —
he builds. We must pray to
him — he builds.

We do not know his plan.
We cannot see whether he is
building or pulling down.

It may be that the times
which by human standards
are times of collapse are for
him the great times of
building.

It may be that the times
which from a human point
of view are great times for
the church are times when it
is pulled down.

It is a great comfort which Christ
gives to his church: you confess,
preach, bear witness to me, and I
alone will build where it pleases
me.
Do not meddle in what is my
province.Dietrich Bonhoeffer

told. We pray for the
sick.

“I will build my church”.
He made no promise about anyone
