Charles Marsh's remarkable lecture in Berlin in March of this year,2010, has Dietrich traveling through Alabama on HWY 11. Marsh references the trip about the 40 minute mark of the lecture linked above.
If DB was on HWY 11 all the way through from Laurel, Miss through Meridian up to Chattanooga on return trip from out west, Mexico to Laredo to New Orleans then he did indeed pass with 20 yards of my Mother's front porch
Of the many divine sparks in my ancestry that is certainly of the highest eschelon if it turns out to in fact be the case.
Bonhoeffer returned through Alabama during the month of what what was to become the internationally famous case of the Scottsboro Boys.
But all that is small potatoes indeed in this magnificent, magisterial lecture by Charles Marsh whose biography of Bonhoeffer will be published by Knopf later this year.
The grand lecture linked above weaves Bonhoeffer's stay in America and his studies at Union and worship in Harlem into the Civil Rights movement that was to become of the lineage in many integral ways Bonhoeffer's visit.
Listen to part of the Testament of the Spirit of Jesus as it worked in the profoundest of ways in Bonhoeffer's life and might have actually passed the front door of my own Sainted Mother.
