The Lutheran Church of the Redeemer in the Old City of Jerusalem hosted the annual international Reformation Service on Reformation Day, October 31. The congregation was filled for the service, which was led by more than a dozen clergy from all over the world. As usual, the service featured music, liturgies and prayers in 6 different languages and Holy Communion. This year, a representative from a partner congregation in Bad Tolz, Germany, presented Pastor Ibrahim Azar with a candle representing their intent to be ever-present with their partner.
