For me, coming to Lutherland in Germany is a bit like a Catholic going to Rome. I’m really tuned in to the churches and the other physical reminders of the courageous accomplishments of the Reformation.

The 500th anniversary of Martin Luther kicking off the Reformation in 1517 is quickly approaching, and towns like Erfurt will enjoy lots of attention. Here’s a quick visit to a great church in Erfurt, where Luther went to university, became a monk, and was ordained a priest.
