...and might B.'s startling comments on polygamy in CD, III, 4, pp. 199, 203 and his comments about "secret marriage" p. 229 reflect on his relationship with CvK?
A well-documented account of B.'s connection to Charlotte "Lollo" von Kirschbaum is R. Kobler's "In the Shadow of Karl Barth." Since 1930, CvK was B.'s "faithful" and "indispensable" secretary and research assistant who took over the work of drafting the "small print" excurses of B.'s "summa," "Church Dogmatics." B. wrote (CD, IV, 4, viii) one reason he could not finish "CD" ('in whose rise and progress she had played so great a part') was that by '65, dementia had put CvK "out of action."
Was this a mini on the meeting and remaining relationship between a women largely interested in his works? One in which many think led to an act of infidelity on Barth's part. Just curious. I am very interested in finding more on the topic
Sufjan's lyrics are ring with Christian lingo. I also know he attended Hope college, a distinctively Christian school in the Reformed tradition found in Holland, Michigan. Whether he's held on to the faith he was surely raised with, I don't know.
I'm glad Barth spoke out against Hitler, the silence of the Lutheran/German Church, and American Anti-Communism which became a form of idolatry in America. We, however, tend to mythologize the legacy of others, especially those we consider to be saints. I would assume that like Paul Barth would want us to seek to be nothing more than witnesses even in our brokenness. He of all people viewed the faith as a way, a journey which includes Christ's triumph even over our sinfulness. Good job.

La musica è noiosa. Il film incomprensibile. Barth meritava di meglio

"Put yourselves to the test to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves!" 2 Cor 13:5
Also, check out "The Joyful Christian," by CS Lewis for discussion on memories and their blessing - however painful, incondite, or misunderstood.
Also, I like the other short with the Sufjan Stevens. Even though I'm not sure he's a Christian the tune is cool.
Matthew 18:28
Glory to God! Peace!
