Dear Friends,

In the story of western civilization, no country has been more important than Great Britain. At one time "the sun never set on the British Empire." Even though those days are long gone, all over the world, including right here in the United States, people employ the language, political institutions, and forms of Christianity that first appeared in the British Isles.

Of course, it is one thing to read about the history, literature, and culture of England, but quite another to visit the actual places where Shakespeare presented dramas that still delight audiences, Winston Churchill gave speeches that inspired his nation, and Henry VIII set in motion the English Reformation that produced so many different Protestant churches - from the Episcopalians to the Quakers! And to do so with knowledgeable and experienced tour guides as well as seminary hosts with expertise, enthusiasm, and commitment to making this an educational and inspiring tour. Such a trip promises to be the experience of a lifetime.

So we are thrilled to be taking people to enjoy "the Best of England and Scotland," and we sincerely hope that you will become a part of our CTS tour.

In Christ,

Dr. and Mrs. Dean Wenthe
President, Concordia Theological Seminary
