Review of some essays on Sasse
This volume is a fine tribute to Hermann Otto Sasse, born in Sonnenwalde on 17th July 1895. A colorful addition complementing the series “Oberurseler Hefte”, masterfully edited by prolific Werner Klän: bilingual, international, scholarly, sometimes with literary flair and whiffs … Continue reading →

Looking forward to the 3rd Advent
Looking forward to preach on the “Benedictus” (Lk.1,67-79) tomorrow. That´s looking closer at St. John the Baptist under the watchword from Isaiah 40: “In the wilderness clear a way for the Lord; Look, the Sovereign Lord comes as a victorious … Continue reading →
Loutraki ist voller Überraschungen… (7)
In „Tranquility“ (Olive Grove) in Lautraki waren wir zu Gast bei einem griechisch-polnischen Ehepaar, das sich in Kanada kennen gelernt hatte. Richard ist Fahrradfahrer und Anastasia freischaffende Künstlerin. Nun sind sie wieder im alten Europa und offensichtlich sehr erfolgreich, sich … Continue reading →
Luther´s rulers in electoral Saxony
In Luther´s time, democracy was far off. Germany was at best a vague idea and not even the language was anywhere near to being uniform in the various landscapes north of the Alps. He was always a citizen of electoral … Continue reading →
Kommt ein Vogel geflogen …

Schöner Morgen heute Abend…

The Lord moves his people in marvellous ways…
It´s a gloomy day today. Finally, April lives up to its German reputation: “April, April, der weiß nicht, was er will!” For the past 29 days it´s been sunny skies all the way – and hardly a hint of a … Continue reading →
Meine lieben Freunde und Verwandte…
Lange her hat sich mein Bruder über diese Anrede lustig gemacht und mir die Lust am wöchentlichen Briefeschreiben genommen. Natürlich konnte er es besser und viel lustiger. So habe ich dann halt mit der wöchentlichen Übung aufgehört. Schade, denn so … Continue reading →
Walking with “Rübezahl”
Good times up North in the Czech Republic deep in the Krkonose mountains (Riesengebirge). It´s not just about the snow, but being in remote wilderness areas – somewhat like the “Schwarzwald” and the “Erzgebirge”, which we visited previously. Back in … Continue reading →

+ Frohe Weihnachten + ein gesegnetes neues Jahr 2020 +
Kommt und lasst uns Christus ehren, Herz und Sinnen zu ihm kehren; singet fröhlich, lasst euch hören, wertes Volk der Christenheit. Sünd und Hölle mag sich grämen, Tod und Teufel mag sich schämen; wir, die unser Heil annehmen, werfen allen … Continue reading →
