Dear Readers,
Today will be our last day in Regensburg until we get back from our second travel week on October 23rd. The past week has been an great opportunity to rest up and prepare for the next two weeks. Though we have been doing a lot of reading, especially on the early reformers such as Luther, Zwingli, and Calvin, we haven't had to do a whole lot of running around town or travel. Many of us have enjoyed going into town to read and get some coffee or gelato as well as get to know our professor who is the chair of Theology at Colorado Christian University (he was also an Olympic/Professional volleyball player in the mid to late 90's). His class has been an awesome opportunity for us to not only learn Reformation Theology, but to have class debates over the major issues during the Reformation (i.e. The Eucharist, Infant Baptistm, etc.) Personally, this has been a growing experience as I have learned so much about modern Christian heritage and have had to evaluate some of my own beliefs and come to understand why I believe what I believe. This next week we will continue learning about the Reformation as we tour around Germany to various important sites such as Wittenburg, Erfurt, Eisenach, Berlin, and Heidlberg (and maybe a few others). Then a group of six of us will be leaving for our travel week from Heidlberg. We will spend the second week in Rome (3days) Greece (5days) touring on our own. Pray for us as we continue in our class that our learning would not just stay in the classroom, but also affect how we live outside of it. I continue to be amazed at all the opportunities God has provided for me here in Europe. I feel spoiled. Thanks for your continuing prayer.
From the upstairs classroom,
Hayden
