Changes to this site Last Updated 03/18
To keep the WT in place, we have to bring back visitors to the site. One of the problems with the old site was the "signal to noise" ratio -- the good lutheran content v.s. the "jokes", "silly comments", and "political topics" that predominated the old site. Please make an effort to post only Lutheran or Christian content on the site.

It is renewal time and your donation will keep us going for another year. Thank you for your support. Please click the link found on the right hand banner to make your donation.
WELCOME to the Wittenberg Trail! It's a joy to have you join us and to be a part of the wonderful things that are going on here. We encourage you to make this your home for all things Lutheran, from discussions, to information, to new publications from publishing houses. The Wittenberg Trail is here for you, so jump in and let your voice be heard.
To keep the WT going, we need to have people want to return to the site. One of the problem that seems to be happening is the "signal to noise" ratio, that is the content of good Lutheran theology and conversation v.s. the "jokes", "silly comments", and "political topics" that seem to be creeping back in more and more. Please make an effort to post only Lutheran or Christian content on the site.
But, we need your help to make Wittenberg Trail a success. Please encourage your family and friends to join. If your church has a website, please consider linking us to your website.
By the way "Thank You" to those who contribute to help keep Wittenberg Trail on the internet, your support is appreciated.
