The priest, the scribe and the Good Samaritan

... and who is my neighbour?
"Silence in the face of evil is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act."
- Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945) - German Lutheran pastor and anti-Nazi dissident who was martyred for his words and actions at Flossenburg prison camp in 1945. After the war some German Christians did not think Bonhoeffer should be called a martyr because he was not executed for "religious" reasons.
