Nineteen Houghton students were supposed to celebrate Easter with me this morning in the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany (the church spire is in the background of this postcard view of Wittenberg, with Luther's statue in the town square in the foreground), where Luther is said to have launched the Reformation by nailing his 95 Theses to the church door.
That trip unfortunately did not take place, one of many things to fall victim to the coronavirus pandemic. I hoped that perhaps the church might put its worship services online, but that appears not to be the case. However, I did find a short clip of some Bible readings, followed by the organist playing Widor, and ending with some prayers. (The readings and prayers are in German, of course.) So if any of you students are reading, you can get at least a small glimpse of the church, and can hear the organ.
