September 18, 7.30pm – 9.00pm followed by tea/coffee
With Vivienne Keely chf
We are in the middle of the ‘Luther-decade’ the ten year commemoration of Martin Luther the Reformer. In this session we follow Luther through the towns and cities of Germany and focus on the people, places, influences, networks and ideas of Luther and his circle. We meet the young Luther, the clerical student, university reformer, author, translator family man and leader of the Reformation. This is not a study of the theology of Luther but could serve as an introduction to Luther and his thought.
Cost: €10 Booking essential
