Discover the remnant

Consider for a moment this quote from Marilynne Robinson about Dietrich Bonhoeffer:
"He [Bonhoeffer] is using the scandal of the cross to discover the remnant church among the multitudes of the religious". (from the essay on Bonhoeffer in "The Death of Adam").
If the depth of meaning, and relevance to our current cultural situation, in this simple statement doesn't blow your mind you haven't thought about it enough.
