Thanks for engaging in this thoughtful discussion. I think it is a fallacy to equate Bonhoeffer’s situation with our own. A church which colluded with the Nazi oppression of Jews is not the same as a church which respects health authorities. When a huge number of medical experts agree with Covid precautions, it seems wise to follow that advice. Nothing immoral is involved in following that advice, even if later studies show it to have had limited benefit. My own cousin almost died from Covid, so I will not minimize the risks.
I’m wondering about chaos being equated with evil. What if chaos is an order which is unrecognized by us who have limited perceptual capacity?
Thank you for courageously sharing this information. Will you be making the transcript available?
Thanks for the encouragement Abigail! We haven't thought of it - we will look into it.
