	Luther exhibit scheduled
	for stops at LCMS sems

	A traveling exhibit from Germany with more than 100 copies of
items associated with Martin Luther has upcoming engagements on the
campuses of the Synods two seminaries.

	The exhibit, titled Martin Luther: The Reformer, features
high-quality facsimiles and copies of books, manuscripts,
illustrations, paintings and other documents, says the exhibits Web

for security reasons.

	The exhibit is co-sponsored by the Luther Center in Wittenberg
and the Foundation for Luther Memorial Sites in Sachsen-Anhalt, Germany.
The items copied for the exhibit are in the collection of the Luther
Center museum.

	Covering 1,500 square feet, the exhibit is divided into 12
segments of the reformers life. Among items displayed are copies of
manuscripts that Luther wrote; a goblet he owned; the first Bible
printed by Gutenberg; a prayer book belonging to Frederick the Wise,
Luthers protector, with illustrations by Albrecht Durer; prints by
Lucas Cranach; and paintings of Luthers family and associates.

	Martin Luther: The Reformer is scheduled at Concordia
Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, March 7-28, and at Concordia
Historical Institute (CHI) on the campus of Concordia Seminary, St.
Louis, July 1-Sept. 24.

	Those in St. Louis for the Synod convention will have an
opportunity to see the exhibit at CHI during Concordia Seminarys July 9
SemFest for delegates and guests.

	Before its engagement in Fort Wayne, the exhibit is at
Valparaiso University, Valparaiso, Ind., Jan. 30-Feb. 21. Other

April 18-June 13; and the Goethe Institute, Atlanta, during October and
