R Writing Co-op 7 specific assignment
Posted: Thu Nov 03, 2022 7:20 pm
For co-op 7, please complete the following (and note the extra commentary on Bonhoeffer below):
1) Vocab as usual (I'm seeing some great words!)
If you want to submit your Co-op 6 vocab to me on Google docs for feedback, feel free to do so. I would love to see them, but I had not required it.
2) Clauses excercies
Again, if you want to send me your phrase exercises from co-op 6, feel free. Otherwise, hand them in for feedback on co-op 7, along with the clause exercises.
3) Bonhoeffer essay:
Section 1: expand if needed (see note below and finish his life research as needed)
Section 2: turn notes/bullet points into complete paragraphs
Section 3: turn notes/bullet points into complete paragraphs. Consider class discussion and the context of his quote pasted below.
Intro-Conclusion: You may start on these, but we'll cover specifics in class next week.
Essay length:
For returning/older students, aim for at least 1-2 pages per section. In general, I want to see that you have thoroughly answered the questions and thought through the ideas, moving beyond just basic answers. Beginner students, if your parents want to check with me on modifying the length, they can do so.
In general, if you completed what was due today with good specifics, you will be in good shape to complete this co-op's work with a half an hour daily work or less (considering 4-5 school days per week). If your assignment turned in today was sketchy, you'll need to be sure that is complete before moving on.
Here is the specific context of his quote as discussed in class today:
Dietrich outlined what he saw as the three options for the church in responding to an errant/oppressive state in a lecture to Berlin pastors three weeks after the reopening of the Reichstag. At the reopening, the pastor who would later become the Bishop of Berlin had claimed "When the life or death of the nation is at stake, state power must be used thoroughly and powerfully, whether abroad or at home. We have learned from Dr. Martin Luther that the church may not get in the way of legitimate state force if it is doing that to which it is called. Not even if it acts harshly and ruthlessly."
Dietrich, in his lecture three weeks later, stated that
"...The church has no right to appropriate to itself power over the state. But it may not keep out of politics if the state abrogates basic human rights. In this instance, Dietrich mentioned three possibilities of church action toward the state: 'In the first place it can ask the state whether its actions are legitimate and in accordance with its character as a state, i.e., it can throw the state back on its responsibilities. Secondly, it can aid the victims of sate action. The church has an unconditional obligation to the victims of any ordering of society, even if they do not belong to the Christian community. The third possibility is not just to bandage the victims under the wheel, but to put a spoke in the wheel itself." (Wind 69)
Again, use the assignment posted last week to express your opinion on his belief, on how it played out in his life, and on how you think it applies to the church at large and your life specifically.
