✝️ Reformation Day – 31st October

Today marks Reformation Day, commemorating the events of 31st October 1517 when Martin Luther published his 95 Theses in Wittenberg, an event widely regarded as a defining moment in the Protestant Reformation.

The Reformation reaffirmed the central importance of Scripture, faith and salvation through Jesus Christ, and the belief that each individual can have a personal saving relationship with God through faith in Christ alone.

More than five centuries later, we remember the profound religious and historical legacy of the Reformation and its continuing significance to the Protestant faith.
