GODTALK: A FORUM FOR THEOLOGICAL DISCUSSION~ The Theology of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the Church in our Context. Thur. 2 April 12.30-2pm, Bonhoeffer attempted to do 'church' for wartime Germany, fashioning a distinctive community and theology out of the challenges of Nazi power. In the end it cost him his life, but he left some remarkable legacy. Don Fergus who is a clergyman, & registered psychologist has been reflecting on this and considers that, if we are honest, we will discover it's very similar to NZ. in 2009. Bring your own lunch, tea/coffee provided. $2.00 Koha
