St. Peter Lutheran Church in Kitchener Ontario - And Trilium?

 



I was shocked when I first saw the stories about my vicarage church, decades later, being turned into housing. The sister church, not far away from St. Peter, seemed to be 100% gone - except for housing. 

St. Peter is definitely radical now and the Lutheran seminary has just a hint of Lutheran training. The seminary's highlight is the chapel turned into floor space for dogs and cushions. So cute!

Five or more seminary faculty or students have now passed into another life. I am in the center row. Martin, our first-born, was soon to be delivered at Yale Divinity School.


This is the Waterloo Lutheran Seminary chapel, where I was one of the students, part of practice to teaching and learning more about traditional Lutheran worship and music. Dogs were never invited.
