John Steinbruck
John Frederick Steinbruck (October 5, 1930-March 1, 2015) is an ordained Lutheran minister who served for 28 years (1970–1997) as the senior pastor of Luther Place Memorial Church in Washington, D.C.〔Castaneda, Ruben, "(Retiring, But Not Shy, Activist Pastor Is Stepping Aside )," ''The Washington Post'', February 6, 1997.〕 Luther Place is an historic, red-stone church located at Thomas Circle, 1226 Vermont Avenue, N.W.,〔"(Our History )." Luther Place Memorial Church. Retrieved 2015-09-29.〕 in the heart of Washington's red-light district. Less than a mile from the White House, the church sits between the symbols of world power and some of the nation's worst urban blight.〔Reid, Louise A., "Luther Place: A haven 'for those who are exiles of the community,'" ''The Washington Post'', April 21, 1977. Print.〕〔McCarthy, Colman, "A Home At Last," ''The Washington Post'', December 7, 1996. Print.〕 As spiritual leader of Luther Place and what is now known as N Street Village, a diverse consortium of shelters and services for homeless women and their families,〔"(About Us )." N Street Village. Retrieved 2015-09-29.〕 Steinbruck became an articulate and passionate preacher of the Social Gospel and a leading voice locally and nationally for the homeless, Central American refugees, and the victims of persecution and prejudice.
Steinbruck has received many honors and much media recognition, and he has occasionally been the instigator of controversy and acts of civil disobedience. To admirers, he is a "prophetic visionary" out to remake the world;〔Ehlers, Mark J., "(A Saint in the City: The Life, Faith, and Theology of John Steinbruck )," November 20, 2009. Retrieved 2015-09-29.〕 to detractors, he is an "unbending, self-righteous true believer with a Messiah complex."〔
== Early life and family ==
The son of working-class German immigrants, Steinbruck was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He suffered many health ailments as a child, including rickets, food allergies, a weak left eye and a hernia that required him to wear an iron truss, and his German heritage in the 1930s and 1940s subjected him to the very forms of prejudice he would later oppose in his Christian ministries.〔"Interview of John Steinbruck." Personal Interview (Mark J. Ehlers). February 13, 2006.〕 While growing up in Northeast Philadelphia, he attended Lawndale Elementary School, Wilson Junior High School, and Frankford High School, from which he graduated in 1948.〔Email Correspondence with John Steinbruck (Mark J. Ehlers). December 28, 2009.〕 An exceedingly thin child, at a young age he could not participate in competitive sports, though he would develop into a large, husky man with a football player's build. Steinbruck excelled at reading and developed into a good student, which would eventually lead him to college and post-graduate education. Following a two-year stint in the United States Navy, in 1949 and 1950, Steinbruck was accepted into the University of Pennsylvania, where he studied at the Wharton School of Finance. He graduated from Penn in 1954 with a bachelor of science degree in Industrial Engineering.〔"John F. Steinbruck, Biographical Sketch." June 24, 1997 (Luther Place Memorial Church Archives).〕
