Lord

The heart of the Christian community is our Triune Lord: Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Geography, history, and numbers are not the heart, but probably I will type mostly on these topics. As the internet already provides many encouraging spiritual guides and discouraging contentious forums, I intend to offer neither.

Pastor Martin Rinkart and the plague

Pastor Martin Rinkart wrote "Now Thank We All Our God" despite his parish's tribulations of plague, famine, and war. I refer you to Pam Griffin's Story Behind the Song, linked HERE.

He lived in Saxony 1586-1649, more than a hundred years after Luther.
