Reformation Day

Bookmark and Share

I'm no historian, but I do know this: it's small acts of courage that change the course of history. One of those acts of courage happened on October 31, 1517 in the small town of Wittenberg, Germany. A little-known Monk named Martin Luther took a stand against the practice of indulgences. The church was selling indulgences as a pardon from purgatory. Luther posted 95 Theses on the doors of the Castle Church.

Pretty cool to be at this place on this day. After our sessions we're going to join the annual reformation celebration.

I read that story in your book. It inspired me just reading it; it must be even more so being there.
