Tax Reform. Healthcare Reform. Social Reform. We hear a lot of call for reformation, these days. None of these are as important as a reformation that took place centuries ago.
Today marks the 506th anniversary of one of the most important protests in history. On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther – a German priest and professor – composed a list of 95 complaints against the Church. He nailed his list to the Wittenburg church door the day before the church celebrated All Saints Day, inviting a discussion on these issues. His timing guaranteed a wide reading.
Had that happened in a Baptist church, the deacons would’ve fired the pastor for ruining the door. Just kidding folks. Sort of.
