A Day in the Mountains of Switzerland

Mount Titlis

Because the weather on Tuesday was wet and gross, we spent most of it combing through museums in Basel and Zurich. We ended up visiting two day’s worth of museums in one, which left today wide open. We decided to make the most of it by heading for the mountains. We left our Airbnb outside Zurich and headed for Luzern and Engelberg. I thought I’d share a few photos I snapped along the way. Tomorrow we visit Konstanz, Germany to learn about Jan Hus and to try to track down some objects related to his life and death. Then we head home!

(My thanks goes to Logos for helping sponsor the trip. Did you know they sell The Works of Zwingli? You can get them for a great price.)

    Should You Share the Gospel with Your Catholic Friends?

    It is a question that seems to arise time and again and year after year: How should Protestants relate to Roman Catholics? Are Catholics faithful brothers and sisters in the Lord? Are they misguided members of an alternative denomination? Are they followers of an entirely different faith that preaches an entirely different gospel? How should…
