CHRISTIAN "VALUES" AND POLITICS

.










x
Religionists must function in society,
in industry, and in politics as individuals,
not as groups, parties, or institutions.
A religious group which presumes to
function as such, apart from religious
activities, immediately becomes a political
party, an economic organization, or a
social institution.
Religious collectivism must confine
its efforts to the furtherance of
religious causes.

Politics are not the task of a Christian.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer, 1906-1945
Pastor, theologian, martyr
Imprisoned and killed by the Nazis
