"On the Longing for Peace"

Sunday Lectures Begin in January 2026 at the Wittenberg Seminary

Three "Sunday Lectures in Conversation" at the Wittenberg Evangelical Seminary will address a pressing and relevant topic of our time.

The events follow in the tradition of Martin Luther's Table Talks. With a short presentation, a reflection on a work of art, and music, attendees are invited to join in conversation and exchange over refreshments.

We warmly invite you to join us for a discussion. The Sunday lectures will take place at 11:00 a.m. on the dates listed above at various locations within the Wittenberg Castle Church complex, following the church service. The events are open to the public and free of charge.
