Boniface

You don't wait for things to change on their own, you go, you act, you build, even where no one has gone before you. That is Boniface: the monk Winfrid leaves his native England to bring the Gospel to the Germans. Before the eyes of the Germanic tribes he fells the sacred oak of Donar, and waits to see what happens. The thunder god stays silent, and Boniface builds: dioceses, monasteries, Fulda, as the Apostle of the Germans he lays the foundation on which the Church in the German lands stands to this day. As an old man he sets out on mission one last time and dies a martyr near Dokkum, according to tradition raising the Gospel book as his shield. And you, are you still waiting, or will you start building?
