This week I am preparing to go on my business trip to Orlando, Florida next weel. My wife and daughter will stay home. We checked on the prices for airfare, hotel and food and it was way out of our budget. Our Community group that we are leading will be preparing for our Reformation Party on October 28th. This will be our 3rd annual event. Reformation Day is celebrated on October 31st each year.
It is in rememberance of Martin Luther, who posted a proposal at the doors of a church in Wittenberg, Germany to debate the doctrine and practice of indulgences. This proposal is popularly known as the 95 Theses, which he nailed to the Castle Church doors. This was not an act of defiance or provocation as is sometimes thought. Since the Castle Church faced Wittenberg's main thoroughfare, the church door functioned as a public bulletin board and was therefore the logical place for posting important notices. Also, the theses were written in Latin, the language of the church, and not in the vernacular. Nonetheless, the event created a controversy between Luther and those allied with the Pope over a variety of doctrines and practices.
