"In the first place [the church] can ask the state whether its actions are legitimate and in accordance with its character as state, i.e., it can throw the state back on its responsibilities. Secondly, it can aid the victims of state action. The church has an unconditional obligation to the victims of any ordering of society, even if they do not belong to the Christian community(!). The third possibility is not just to bandage the victims under the wheel, but to put a spoke in the wheel itself." --Dietrich Bonhoeffer on the church's possible action toward the state

Torn in two directions, between self-confidence and doubt in himself...."the reason why Dietrich felt this problem so strongly was that during the course of his life traditional values were both put in question and put to the test"
