We don't like Halloween, but we do like the Reformation. October 31st is significant because of Martin Luther and the his 95 theses in 1517. Reformation Day is a religious holiday celebrated on October 31 in remembrance of the Reformation, particularly by Lutheran and some Reformed church communities. We review the state of the American church and how it has often embraced an anti-intellectual approach. Seminaries are often put down, and there is almost a badge of honor that goes along with being ignorant. We have forgotten our history, and we seem to take pride in it. We review the life of Martin Luther, as well as the conditions on the ground in the church of his day. We explore the follow-on reformers, including John Calvin as well as the various Confessions of Faith. Participants: Rev. Mark Diedrich, Jerry Johnson, Dan Elmendorf
