Lutherans Begin Ecumenical Pilgrimage to Retrace Luther's Steps
10-224-JB

CHICAGO (ELCA) -- Two Lutherans will leave the Augustinian priory in
Erfurt, Germany, Aug. 22, and walk one thousand miles to Rome, 
retracing
the footsteps of Martin Luther.  But for the Rev. Sarah Hinlicky 
Wilson
and her husband, Dr. Andrew Lars Wilson, it's much more than a long 
hike
-- it's a chance to meet people face-to-face and interact with those 
who
follow their journey online about the importance of ecumenism.
