From cover to (almost) cover
Maria Rudolph and Jonathan Krause recently shared a special ‘reunion’. But it was actually the first time the pair had met – almost 18 years after they graced the same cover of The Lutheran in June 2006, German-born Maria had shared her story of meeting Lutheran people while backpacking around Australia and coming to faith, while Jonathan had explained his role at Christian Blind Mission International – collecting and bringing back stories from the world’s poorest places. Maria is today a pastoral associate at St John’s Lutheran Church in Perth, while Jonathan is Community Action Manager for Australian Lutheran World Service. Maria’s husband, Pastor Michael Rudolph, who serves the Concordia congregation at Duncraig in suburban Perth, took the photo.
