THE 500th ANNIVERSARY OF THE REFORMATION! 

We celebrate Reformation Sunday every October, but in 2021 we were happy to celebrate the 500th Anniversary with a series of celebrations through the anniversary year.  We are reminded of the 95 Theses that Martin Luther nailed to the door of the Wittenberg Castle Church to begin the process of reform and renewal.  The document spelled out the supporting ideas for the two main beliefs underlying Protestant religions, and particularly the Lutheran Church.  These two beliefs, central to our religion, are that the Bible is God’s given authoritative Word and that humans receive salvation through faith alone in Christ alone and not by their deeds.  It was a day that shaped religious and cultural history.

"HERE I STAND SUNDAY"  - held on April 18, 2021

Picture
On April 18, 1521, three and a half years after he nailed the 95 Theses to the church door in Wittenberg, Martin Luther made his historic stand at the Diet (official meeting) in the German city of Worms (pronounced “Vorms”). Accused of fostering heresy, he was directed by Charles V and other leaders to recant his teaching about the pure Gospel or face death.
As recounted in his collected works, Luther concluded his statement to the Diet with the words: “Since then your serene majesty and your lordships seek a simple answer, I will give it in this manner, neither horned nor toothed: Unless I am convinced by the testimony of the Scriptures or by clear reason (for I do not trust either in the pope or in councils alone, since it is well known that they have often erred and contradicted themselves), I am bound by the Scriptures I have quoted and my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and I will not retract anything, since it is neither safe nor right to go against conscience.
“I cannot do otherwise, here I stand, may God help me, Amen” (LW 32:112–13).
On April 18, 2021, the Synod will commemorate the 500th anniversary of Luther’s defiant defense of the pure Gospel by observing “Here I Stand” Sunday, as called for by the adoption of Resolution 4–09 at the 2019 Synod convention. The resolution reads, in part:
“WHEREAS, Scripture gives us encouragement with these words: ‘Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful’ (Heb. 10:23) … therefore be it Resolved, That April 18, 2021, be declared ‘Here I Stand’ Sunday throughout The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, its districts, circuits, and congregations … and be it finally Resolved, That our churches and people be encouraged to spend time in prayer, asking the Lord to continue to bless the proclamation of the Gospel.”
