Hall of Men Presents Johannes Bugenhagen on Feb 9

The Hall of Men will gather Thursday evening on the commemoration of the Leavetaking of the Presentation of Our Lord and Savior in the Temple, Anno Domini 2023, February 9 for our first topic of 2023.


Daniel Snyder will present on Johannes Bugenhagen.


Johannes Bugenhagen, called “Pomeranus”, was a schoolmaster, a teacher, a pastor, and a peacemaker. What could this second row Lutheran reformer, Luther’s confessor, have to do with the present understanding of Churches and schools? The work he undertook in Northern Germany has enduring significance in surprising ways.


If you haven’t seen a Catholic listen to the life story of John Wesley; if you haven’t watched a Protestant learn about Evagrius of Pontus; and if you haven’t seen Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant men sit around a table together and talk theology until midnight . . . then you need to come to the Hall of Men.
