New Monasticism - Bonhoeffer

February 23rd, 2008

“…the restoration of the church will surely come only from a new type of monasticism which has nothing in common with the old but a complete lack of compromise in a life lived in accordance with the Sermon on the Mount in the discipleship of Christ. I think it is time to gather people together to do this…” Dietrich Bonhoeffer

    Geoff,

    Hey, this is a blast from the past…I just stumbled on your site…I don’t know if you remember me, I worked with CCC back at URI with Gilbert Kingsley. I am now a pastor at a PCA church in Atlanta. I am blogging at:
    http://www.provocativechurch.blogspot.com
    http://www.ministrybestpractices.com

    I love the stuff you are working through on your blog…good stuff.
