Jackie’s jumped ahead with the Germany pics; here’s my first. A prayer from Schmalkalden, spied a few doors down from where they hammered out basic Lutheran doctrine in 1537. This didn’t make the final cut of the Smalcald Articles—I see Melanchthon’s ecumenical hand in this—and, sure, this may value truth over fellowship juust a bit much even for Gnesio-Lutherans, but decide for yourself: “God save us from rain, storm, wind, and bratwurst that isn’t from Thuringia.”
