In the April 5, 2011 issue of the Christian Century magazine, Sarah Hinlicky Wilson has an article titled "Here I Walk: On the Road with Luther." She and her husband, Andrew, decided while in graduate school in 2010 to observe the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther's 1,000-mile pilgrimage (undertaken in his pre-reformer days) from his Augustinian priory in Erfurt to Rome.
Sarah realized that Luther hated pilgrimages and wrote much about their evils. Nonetheless, Sarah and her husband transformed their walk into an "Ecumenical Pilgrimage" with the aim toward better relationships between Lutherans and Catholics. They used Facebook and Twitter to spread the word about their venture. In time, they had a virtual community of pilgrims to follow along with them in their quest for reconciliation in the spirit of Paul, who challenged them to "live in harmony with one another."
