This month, it will be 500 years since the Protestant Reformation began after Martin Luther reportedly nailed his Ninety Five Theses – attacking the practices and doctrines of the Medieval Catholic church – to the door of the Castle Church in the east German town of Wittenberg.
The Reformation, which had far-reaching political, economic, and social effects, became the basis for the founding of Protestantism, one of three major forces in Christianity.
To commemorate this key historical event, we have prepared two services for churches to use.
