Lutherans Begin Ecumenical Pilgrimage to Retrace Luther's Steps

August 21, 2010

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.
