I am very happily in Valparaiso, Indiana for my step father’s 90th birthday party.
Karl Lutze was born in 1920 in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. As a boy he watched his father and his uncle pull up in the Automobile his father had ordered, picked up at the train station, read the operators manual and driven home. During WWII Karl studied to be a wartime pastor, but by the time he finished seminary school the war was over. Instead of going overseas, Karl was assigned to a poor black parish in Muskogee, Oklahoma. The rest of Karl’s life was cast at that moment.
Happy Birthday, Karl. And thank you.
