Episode 14 – Houston, Leipzig, and everything in-between w/ Rev. Dr. Robert Moore

This episode features a conversation with Rev. Dr. Robert Moore.
At home in Houston, Texas, Robert Moore is a pastor at ELCA: the
Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, which is the largest
Lutheran denomination in the US.


Since he first came to Leipzig in 1994, Robert Moore has been a
vocal supporter of the sister-city relationship between Houston
and Leipzig. From 2016 to 2019, he served as the reformation
ambassador of Leipzig. He is also a founding member of the
German-American Institute Saxony.


In the conversation, we cover topics ranging from his work in
Houston, Leipzig and Wittenberg, and the differences he sees
between the US and Germany in terms of religious engagement. We
also talked about megachurches, the political influence of
evangelicals in the US, and, of course, Houston!

- The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevski
- On the Freedom of the Christian by Martin Luther
