Churches around the world are gearing up to celebrate the 500 year anniversary of the start of the Protestant Reformation. On October 31, 1517, a German monk called Martin Luther nailed 95 theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg. This precipitated the reform of medieval Christianity, which changed the world forever. We are all impacted by Luther, who has been called “the last medieval man and the first modern one.”
