A visit to the Lutheran Institute for Theological Education, Bangkok

At the invitation of its Academic Dean, Lilja Kiunnen-Riipenen, I visited this Lutheran College in Bangkok for a workshop on Liturgy and Music in February of 2006.  It was founded by Finnish missionaries in the 1980s.  Though small in terms of the number of students studying here, this lively place is preparing its students for service in the young church in Thailand.
