White Horse Inn
If you've ever noticed the left side of our website, you've probably seen a link to a place called the White Horse Inn. While you may have thought this was a link to a great bed and breakfast in Vermont, it's actually a link to one of our favorite weekly radio shows broadcast over the internet.
The original White Horse Inn was a tavern in Cambridge, England where Christians would gather in the 1500's to discuss their concern over wrong doctrine and the direction it was taking the church at that time. From these discussions began what I believe is the most significant revival in modern history – The Great Reformation. The link to the left is a group of pastors who are attempting to carry on this great tradition of getting Christians to think about what they believe and to hopefully, reform our generation in the same way.
Well last week, Kristin's dad was in England on business. Monday he sent us the picture above. It's of him standing in the place of the original White Horse Inn. In case you can't read the caption on the sign, it says:
"Site of the White Horse Inn. Known as 'Little Germany' where Cambridge scholars debated the works of Martin Luther in the early sixteenth century.
A birthplace of the reformation in England."
A birthplace of the reformation in England."
How cool is that?

Randy, this WAS cool. To find it was at the end of a lot of questions. Googling White Horse Inn gets you over 80 Inns and pubs. The mother of the attendant at the tourist bureau in Cambridge knew about the plaque on the outer wall of King's College chapel.
