About Us

Men of Bonhoeffer strive to persevere in righteousness, grow in integrity, live and
die with conviction, and serve with courage, steadfastly upholding a Christ-like community dedicated to these ideals.

Established in 2004, the House of Dietrich Bonhoeffer is one of the nine original fraternal organizations in the House System at The King's College, New York City. "Bonhoeffer" was designated as the International House during its first year. Grzegorz "Greg" Grabowski and Benson Agbortogo co-led the group, encouraging and sponsoring college-wide events related to broadening the cultural experience of The King's College student body, then drawn primarily from local New York City residents. Following the House System's first year, international students are placed in all houses, encouraging widespread diversity.

Our house namesake is one of the most prominent theologians of the twentieth century. Dietrich Bonhoeffer was born in Germany and remained loyal to his countrymen until his execution just prior to the surrender of the Nazi regime in 1945. An openly outspoken opponent of Hitler, Bonhoeffer was an admitted member of the resistance movement, military double-agent, and was involved in a high profile assassination attempt on the Fuhrer. Dietrich Bonhoeffer was hanged on April 9, 1945, days before the liberation of Flossenburg concentration camp. More »
