Av did you know that Bonhoeffer was a spy?

D. Bonhoeffer, please illuminate RUA?

Yes he joined the Abwehr, but if anything he was a double agent. He clearly wrote of his reasoning and there is no doubt, having read Bonhoeffer and a variety of biographical material that he was not any more a spy than C. S. Lewis was a Buddhist.

But please go ahead give it a try.

Oh dear, poor Av is so thick that he doesn’t know that a double agent is still a spy.
