Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem

I am under the conviction that the Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem had a profound impact on Dietrich Bonhoeffer.  He wrote…

For more than six months I have been at one of the large Negro Baptist churches in Harlem almost every Sunday from noon to 2:30.

I have heard the gospel in the Negro churches.
