Johannes Bugenhagen

It actually has a history and heritage in some of our older churches in Eastern Europe.

So for example, in Latvia, The Reformation arrived there in 1523, thanks to Johannes Bugenhagen, who was a Pomeranian, right? Luther called him the Pomeranian.

That was that region of kind of Poland that stretched all the way up into the Baltic regions there.

So going back a long time, we have this preservation and use and articulation of matrimony as a sacrament, as holy matrimony.
