26 May - Evangelical Parish of the Church of the Savior
Our next appointment was with the archbishop of the diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church. His office is located at Martin Luther Square, comprising the Evangelical Parish of the Church of the Savior, presbytery, “Augustana” publishing house and two schools. A bronze statue of Martin Luther stands in the center of the square and is the only statue of this theologian and reformer in Poland. During our interview the Archbishop mentioned the records are hard to read and they too rely on the local scholar to transcribe the records. He had a map that showed the past and present boundaries for the Evangelical parishes thought out Poland.
