Salle Bonhoeffer scholar appears

PHILADELPHIA, PA (June 21, 2005) - Foremost scholar on the life
of Dietrich Bonhoeffer Dr. Geffrey B. Kelly, second from right,
traced the life of the German martyr today during a Lutherhostel
continuing education event for older persons at The Lutheran Theological
Seminary at Philadelphia (LTSP). With Dr. Kelly are Lutherhostel
event planners Martha Reumann, left, and the Rev. Dr. John H.
P. Reumann, LTSP's Ministerium of Pennsylvania Professor Emeritus
of New Testament and Greek. Second from left is Lutherhostel Chaplain
for 2005, the Rev. Amy Reumann of Milwaukee, WI. Kelly chairs
the Department of Religion in both La Salle University's School
of Arts and Sciences and its School of Continuing Studies and
has taught at the Roman Catholic university in Philadelphia for
32 years. He spoke of Bonhoeffer's pacifist convictions and of
Jesus Christ's passion for the "unending worth of the apparently
worthless." The seventh annual weeklong Lutherhostel event
at LTSP is focusing on the theme, "Lord Give Us Peace: How
in the World?"
