The church is only church when it is there for others

The resistance fighter and theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer has been known to a politically interested audience for decades. However as a theologian he has dealt in his dissertation and other writings (e.g. from prison) with the question of what tasks a church has when worldly problems burden people. Because Bonhoeffer defined church as succession a religious search for traces can offer aspects for thinking about ecclesiology then and now.
