*This post is from the defunct blog “Dying Church”*

From [BP News](http://www.bpnews.net/bpnews.asp?ID=23201&ref=dashhouse.com):

> In a culture increasingly hospitable to isolation and anonymity, Bonhoeffer reminds us that God's purposes center not on the Christian alone but on the Christian within the church, the body of Christ. Whereas churches compete in a Christian-consumer, winner-take-all landscape that affirms and rewards the spiritual shopper for spiritual products, promising to make him holy, Bonhoeffer proclaims an intrinsically relational discipleship where mutual interdependency between covenant-bound brothers and sisters defines the path to holiness and indeed to Jesus Himself…

> Bonhoeffer insists that the issue is not how to make the Gospel relevant to the world but rather to expose how irrelevant we have all become in our rebellion against the living God.
