Created as a modern day version of the Black Cloister, the former monastery where Martin Luther and Katharina von Bora lived during the reformation and hosted Luther’s now famous ”Table Talk” gatherings of traveling theologians, university students, philosophers, public figures and other community members, the Modern Cloister aims to model the same spirit of cultivating deeper thinkers and worshipers through conversations about the Christian life in church, culture, and community. The Modern Cloister is hosted by husband and wife duo, Kevin and Carisa Turner.
