Report from Pastor Olbricht to the High Church Council in Berlin updating the Council on the progress of his young assistant pastor, Dietrich Bonhoeffer:
January 1, 1929
He particularly devoted himself energetically and with kindness to the young people, who were enthusiastically devoted to him...In a truly exemplary fashion, he produced a nativity play in the church with the children on the Sunday before Christmas, a project with endless rehearsals and practice that demanded a great deal of hard work. It was enormously well attended by the German colony, and the play was performed to great satisfaction.
