Ed Piazza, the Secretary of State of the small United States being forged in war-torn Germany during the Thirty Years War, has a problem on his hands. A religious conference has been called in nearby Rudolstadt which will determine doctrine for all the Lutherans in the nation. The hard-fought principle of religious freedom is at stake, threatened alike by intransigent theologians and students rioting in the streets.
As if that weren't bad enough: * the up-time American Lutherans are themselves divided; * a rambunctious old folk singer is cheerfully pouring gasoline on the flames; * and a Calvinist "facilitator" from Geneva is maneuvering to get the U.S. involved with the developing revolutionary movement in Naples.
Stories include: * Portraits by Eric Flint * Anna's Story by Loren Jones * Curio and Relic by Tom Van Natta * The Sewing Circle by Gorg Huff * The Rudolstadt Colloquy by Virginia DeMarce * Radio in the 1632 Universe by Rick Boatright * They've Got Bread Mold, So Why Can't They Make Penicillin? by Robert Gottlieb * Horse Power by Karen Bergstralh
