Today is called, "Reformation Sunday" by many people, especially Lutherans. On this day many years ago Martin Luther tacked his 95 Statements on the door of Wittenberg Castle/Monastery.
Martin was a Roman Catholic Priest who saw several serious problems with some of the theology he practiced. Those 95 statements laid out his objections and started the Protestant Reformation.
To read more about this momentous event, read the blog by Mark Daniels, Pastor of Friendship Lutheran Church. Many historians consider Luther's heroic act as one that allowed modern life to grow and spread in Europe. It could well be the main reason we in America experience so much freedom.
What many remember and experience as Halloween the Reformed world remembers as Reformation Sunday.
