Today’s episode is a conversation with Professor Dirk Lange. Professor Lange works as the professor of Worship and Confessions at Luther Seminary and as the Assistant General Secretary for Ecumenical Relations at the Lutheran World Federation. He also wrote an incredible book titled “Today Everything is Different” discussing his time in Leipzig accompanying underground prayer groups at the heart of the Peaceful Revolution in East Germany. Today we talk about his incredible work with the Lutheran World Federation, the relationship between prayer and our call to be the neighbor, and how a baptismal spirituality calls us outward beyond the walls of our church. Professor Lange is a fountain of wisdom and theological thoughtfulness, and I had a blast talking with him. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
