Streets of Wittenberg


Preeminent confessional Lutheran theological educators from five continents walking from the Castle Church in Wittenberg down the street to Luther's home. After singing "A Might Fortress" in the Castle Church we saw the city church where Luther preached and the Augustinian monestery that was Luther's home. What a way to make the Reformation history come alive. We also say the Wittenberg University where Luther was a professor of theology and the Bible. You could almost hear him condemning the practice of indulgences to buy forgiveness, and preaching the gospel message of free savation in the work of Christ. The just shall live by faith.
Pastor Nidaira, our Japanese colleague and brother, stands in front of the pulpit of the City Church from which Luther often preached.
