WORK & CONSIDERATION IN THE POSTMODERN WORLD
Dr. Uwe Siemon-Netto, UPI religion editor: "There is a theological point to be made here. The point is that in post-modernity the accomplishments of the French revolution have reached their highest level of absurdity so far. This revolution, Dietrich Bonhoeffer observed, was 'the laying bare of emancipated man in his tremendous power and most terrible perversity.'"

..."I put this question to one of my favorite pastors, the Rev. Johannes Richter, former regional bishop of Leipzig in Germany, who in Communist days had witnessed a tyrannical regime's deliberate attempt to destroy the essence of Christian civilization.

"He replied, 'It's all about 'I' and 'you.' If you emphasize the 'I,' you'll never grasp the 'you.' But if the 'you' is your starting point - if you are willing to be there for others -- only then will you discover yourself.'"
