Clemson shirt in Germany.

So today I was in Wittenberg, Germany at the castle church where Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the door. I was attending an English service of worship. The English pastor from the U. S. conducting the service was from Newberry, SC. He saw my Clemson shirt, we struck up a conversation and he asked if I would like to read the gospel lesson during the service. For a reformed Presbyterian to read a lesson in the church where the reformation was birthed is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Once again being a Clemson man pays large dividends.

Funny, what a small world it is sometimes. Cool story and it had to be such an honor to do that.

I visited Wartburg Castle in Germany where Martin Luther translated the New Testament from Greek into German. However your experience was very unique. Thanks for sharing!

That's so cool! My uncle is a Presbyterian pastor and it has afforded him some really neat opportunities. He got to play at St. Andrews while on a pastor swap kind of thing over in Scotland. I've never been so jealous.
