"FAITH IS A LIVING, DARING CONFIDENCE IN GOD'S GRACE."
                                                                              - The Rev. Dr.  Martin Luther

This year, 2017, marked the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther's posting his 95 Theses on the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, sparking the Protestant Reformation. All around the world, historians, theologians, sociologists, seminaries, colleges, and congregations marked this anniversary in various ways. At UniLu, we observed the anniversary through worship, education, service, and music/arts. Below is some information about various things at UniLu and elsewhere on the San Francisco Peninsula.
