Repentance in Austria

In the 17th century Salzburg’s Archbishops drew out every Protestant believer; often they had to leave their children behind, who were brought up by Catholics then - imagine!

in 1956 their successor on the Salzburg seat wrote to the Lutherans to ask their forgiveness and they thanked for his letter;

now 50 years later, in 2016, the Lutheran bishop of Austria accepted the bid! He took part in the journey by the way, as did high officials of the Catholics.
