London, Reformation Sunday, November 4, 1934.
Since the Reformation of Luther began in Germany, the observance of Reformation Sunday was and continues to be very important for the German church. German Protestants living in London who grew up in Germany might remember nostalgically the splendid worship services on dark November Reformation Sundays, with the music of brass choirs. For Bonhoeffer, the final verse from 1 Corinthians 13 provided the occasion, at this dark time in the history of the German Protestant church, for him to lift up his vision of what the churches that were heirs of the Reformation might become.
