Bonhoeffer and King

Program

Program Structure

The program will center around Bonhoeffer and King, with separate days devoted to different aspects of their work. 

The first day will introduce the group to Bonhoeffer and King and the background of their thought.  These discussions will be led by Jennifer McBride, Regents Chair of Ethics at Wartburg College  and  Greg Moses, Texas State University. The remaining days each participant will be responsible for a specific text and/or aspect, or present a paper on Bonhoeffer’s and King’s thought and will help lead that part of the discussion.
