The Melanchthon Institute is presenting a conference celebrating the life and works of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a Lutheran minister who was executed by the Nazis for leading the protestant resistance against Hitler. Bonhoeffer left remarkable writings about his faith and ethical beliefs. The conference “Bonhoeffer Today: Peace, Ecology, and Christian Ethics” will be held in the Museum District of Houston October 19-21. The conference will host a panel of internationally acclaimed experts on Bonhoeffer’s works: Barbara Green, Larry Rasmussen, and Clifford Green. Plus there will be guided tours of the Holocaust Museum, concert performances of the opera Bonhoeffer written by Lutheran composer Ann Gebuhr, and personal memories of the Holocaust given by survivor Walter Case. The movie Bonhoeffer by Martin Doblmeier will be shown. The conference will be held at the Holocaust Museum Houston, St. Pauls’ United Methodist Church, and Christ the King Lutheran Church.
Registration for all events is $75 per person, plus $7 for Saturday lunch, and $25 for Saturday dinner.
