Friends of Perkins Reformation Immersion - 2010

Prague and Wittenberg
June 6th to 15th, 2010.

Professor Rich Nelson, Lecturer
Dr. Robert Hunt, Tour Leader

The Global Theological Education Program is pleased to announce that Dr. Richard Nelson has agreed to lead an inter-cultural immersion program especially for Alumnae and Friends of Perkins School of Theology. From June 6th to 15th, 2010 a group of fifteen travelers will, under the guidance of Professor Nelson, immerse themselves in the world of the Protestant Reformation and contemporary post-Communist Eastern Europe. The journey will begin in Prague, where for four days the group will explore the often forgotten, but well preserved history of the earliest reformers. Among the highlights will be worship in the first church at which the chalice was offered to lay persons during holy communion. From Prague we will travel to Wittenberg, Germany where Luther sparked the German Reformation. We will visit the church on which his famous 99 thesis were nailed, as well as the pulpit from which he preached and taught.
