Theology

A living tradition

---

Lutherans can point with pride to our spiritual founder, Martin Luther, who is credited with sparking the Protestant Reformation more than 500 years ago. Lutheran congregations mark the Sunday closest to Oct. 31 as Reformation Sunday. The Reformation marked a turning point, opening the way for diversity and vitality of expression not only in Western Christianity but also in politics and social life. For Lutherans, we know that the work of reforming the church and world is always underway with the guidance of the Spirit. What’s next?
