About the Wittenberg Awards

The Wittenberg Awards were established in 1990 to recognize Lutheran laity and clergy from around the world for distinguished service to church and society, and, in so doing, to encourage others to accept the call to service and servant leadership. For additional information, contact the Luther Institute at (202) 547-5504 or e-mail us.
