Reformation Day in Rome

Posted on November 1, 2010 by Sarah Wilson

Yes­ter­day morn­ing we woke up extremely early, though not because we aren’t crav­ing exces­sive amount of sleep—only because Day­light Sav­ings Time ended in Europe today. For all that, we still man­aged to be a few min­utes late to church. The … Con­tinue read­ing →

Our Personal Invitation to Some As-Yet Unidentified Catholics

Posted on October 31, 2010 by Sarah Wilson

After 70 days of walk­ing to Rome, we get to take a plane and a train back home. Luther and his com­pan­ion, of course, didn’t have that lux­ury. Every step of the way they came, they had to retrace all … Con­tinue read­ing →

The Final Stop—But This Story Isn’t Over Yet!

Posted on October 30, 2010 by Sarah Wilson

At twenty past eight I was shaken out of a very deep sleep in which I was dream­ing that I had just won a marathon (some­times the sub­con­scious doesn’t bother with sub­tlety in its imagery) by Andrew telling me that … Con­tinue read­ing →

Posted on October 29, 2010 by Sarah Wilson
