Want were some of the highlights of Luther's life and influence at the time of the Reformation, October 31, 1517? This obscure, cloistered monk nailed a manuscript of 95 statements (called "theses") to the door of Wittenberg Castle in Germany. He was responding to the claims of Johann Tetzel, another monk, who was raising money on behalf of Pope Lorenzo de'Medici. Today we learn about Luther and the lightning storm. What about the indulgences? What about approaching God directly based on Christ's merits? What about the printing press. How did that affect things? Today we look back at the Reformation and yet don't appreciate it nearly enough. Did you know that there would be no America if it were not for the Reformation and the Second Great Awakening that had its roots in the Reformation? Participants: Rev. Mark Diedrich, Dan Elmendorf
