Postmodern Christianity

Here is a quote from Dietrich Bonhoeffer on the subject of the future of the Christian church as it relates to the emerging postmodern society we live in. Interesting thoughts...

"During these years the Church has fought for self-preservation as though it were an end in itself, and has thereby lost its chance to speak a word of reconciliation to humanity and to the world at large. So our traditional language must perforce become powerless and remain silent, and our Christianity will be confined to praying and doing right to our human brothers and sisters. Christian thinking, speaking and organizing must be reborn out of this praying and this action.. It will be a new language.. the language of a new righteousness and truth, which proclaims the peace of God with humankind and the advent of his kingdom. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, "Letters and Papers from Prison"

Oh yeah I stole it from another blog.
