You have spent six weeks working through one of the most compressed and powerful accounts of Christian community ever written — now is the time to step back and take stock of what has changed.
Discussion Questions
8 questions1.Looking back across the five chapters, which single idea, image, or quote from Bonhoeffer struck you most forcefully — the one that most changed your thinking or convicted you most deeply? Why did it land so hard?
2.Bonhoeffer's book rests on a single foundation: Christian community is a divine gift, not a human achievement. How has your understanding of this claim deepened, complicated, or been challenged over these weeks? Do you believe it more or less firmly now than when you began?
3.Which of Bonhoeffer's five chapter topics — Community, The Day with Others, The Day Alone, Ministry, or Confession and Communion — represents the area where your own practice or your community's practice is most deficient? What would it look like to take one concrete step toward change in that area?
a.What is the one specific, actionable thing you will do differently in the next thirty days because of this book?
b.Who will you ask to hold you accountable for that change?
