International Bonhoeffer Society Calls for 'Ending Donald Trump's
Presidency' in 'Statement of Concern'
Jim Wallis

Two years ago, Sojourners magazine released our
February 2018 cover story, asking the question, "Is This a
Bonhoeffer Moment?" This week, the board of directors of the
International Bonhoeffer Society -- an organization dedicated to
research and scholarship on the life and writings of Dietrich
Bonhoeffer -- issued an answer from their discernment.

Here is how the statement, obtained exclusively by Sojourners,
begins:

As grateful recipients, and now custodians, of the theological,
ethical, and political legacy of the German pastor-theologian and
Nazi resister Dietrich Bonhoeffer, we believe all persons of
faith and conscience should prayerfully consider whether our
democracy can endure a second term under the presidency of Donald
Trump. We believe it cannot. In 2017, we issued a statement
expressing our grave concerns about the rise in hateful rhetoric
and violence, the rise in deep divisions and distrust in our
country, and the weakening of respectful public discourse ushered
in by the election of Donald Trump. We articulated the need for
Christians to engage in honest and courageous theological
reflection in the face of the threat posed by his leadership.
Over the last three years, the need for such discernment has
grown more urgent.
