Jesus said, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” We spent some very productive days in Rome with our Lutheran missionaries and pastors stationed there. They presented their work in the Eternal City and across the Italian peninsula. A highlight of our stay was the following encounter. Last Friday morning, I was sitting in an outdoor café only a few hundred feet from the Vatican, conducting a Zoom interview with a potential new student for Riga Luther Academy, our online seminary. Saint Peter’s Cathedral loomed in the background. Tourists and nuns, priests and panhandlers populated the busy avenue.
