These happen to be the latest cities where details have been received about Lutheran students coming to those cities from outside the UK, but without an English-speaking Lutheran congregation there. And the very same thing is happening in other places around the country.

Coming as a student to the UK from another country is certainly a daunting task. Coming as a Lutheran can be even more daunting! Many Lutherans are not used to being so outnumbered!

There will always be changes and differences from the country of origin. One thing will stay the same for every student--the death of Jesus on the cross in the place of sinners; this is the centre of the Lutheran faith.

Anglican congregations each have their own distinct history. There may be some that will seem quite similar to a Lutheran congregation. If a Lutheran student finds one of those, with a vicar who preaches Christ crucified, that certainly is a wonderful find! Others may not be so blessed.

One or two Lutheran students can make a big difference within a UK university. If you are a Lutheran student within the UK, please make your presence known on this website.
