The short five-minute walk from Pole Mokotowskie metro station down into Mokotow is quite relaxing taking in the Stodoła concert hall; an interesting lone wooden (Eastern Orthodox or Uniat Catholic) cross in a field; and then a Lutheran church as the full hub of Mokotow comes into view.
Had been aware of this church for years, but only got to have a closer look yesterday, finding out that it was Lutheran.
Just read that the Lutherans are the biggest Protestant denomination in Poland. Remember teaching somewhere years ago in Warsaw, and two Lutheran students being mightily proud of being Protestant rather than Catholic (guess that they valued a certain uniqueness that was attached to their identity).
