Dorothee Soelle, theologian and mystic (one who has "borrowed the eyes of God"), came of age in post-war Germany, a country that bore the "stench of gas." It instilled in her a duty to question authority, to rebel, and to remember the lessons of the dead." bit.ly/2r3FPFE
Conversation
Soelle died April 27, 2003: "Sin has to do not just with what we do but with what we allow to happen."
