What role did Dietrich Bonhoeffer have in the World Alliance for Promoting International Friendship through the Churches?

Following his attendance at an ecumenical conference at the University of Cambridge in 1931, Dietrich Bonhoeffer was appointed to serve as a European youth secretary for the World Alliance for Promoting International Friendship through the Churches.1

In this capacity, he remained an active participant in ecumenical affairs, even as the political climate in Germany became increasingly nationalistic. His work with the organization allowed him to interpret the significance of the German church struggle to Christians in other countries, during which time he found a supportive advocate in G.K.A. Bell, the bishop of Chichester.1
