Walking tours of Wittenberg started after lunch today, with stops at the Castle Church (where Luther is buried) and St. Mary's (where Luther preached and where he married Katharina von Bora). We return to the Castle Church tomorrow morning for a Service of Holy Communion where the Rev. Dawn Hansen, director for programs with Women of the ELCA, will be preaching.
Participants enjoyed free time in Wittenberg after the walking tours. I've seen several women walking around with shopping bags in hand, so it's fair to say we have been supporting the local economy! Wittenberg offers many quaint street scenes, such as this one.
This evening we look forward to a program led by the staff of the ELCA Wittenberg Center. Several local female pastors and layleaders will be joining us for the evening. Check in later to read about that.
