Together again: Utah Lutherans, Catholics to worship side by side 500 years after Protestant Reformation

On an October day five centuries ago, a German friar named Martin Luther nailed 95 theses to the doors of Wittenberg’s Castle Church, triggering the Protestant Reformation.

This Sunday, Christians rent from one another by that schism will pray together at Salt Lake City’s Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church, 1070 Foothill Drive.

The Rev. Oscar Solis, bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Salt Lake City, will join the Rev. Jim Gonia, bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America’s Rocky Mountain Synod, in offering sermons at the 3 p.m. Common Prayer Service.
