Germany has a major celebration every October — but this year is special. 500 years ago, on October 31, 1517, Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the doors of Wittenberg Church. This symbolically launched what later historians would dub the Protestant Reformation.
As a lover of religious history — and appreciator of the LDS Church’s indebtedness to many things Protestant — I hereby proclaim October to be Protestant Reformation month at By Common Consent. I hope you will enjoy and contribute to our celebration of Protestant hymns, quotes, churches, leaders, theologies, and other snippets of history. I pray that through this celebration, we can all rediscover a love of scripture and delight in faith.
