    This is the 3rd talk in a series, and this week the focus is on learning to pray by paying attention to the Master Teacher himself, and by learning from him. Then, we actually need to learn by praying!

    Dramatic monologue as if Martin Luther were the preacher, telling his own story. Time period is the Wartburg stay; focus is on hope and trust in a changing world, "amid the flood" of change.

    [Backstage] Walled up here in this fortress, kept practically as a prisoner, prevented from teaching, prohibited from preaching, what good am I? What can I accomplish in such a place?
