Reformation jubilee 2017
The 500th anniversary of the reformation remembers a major change effort carried out by people who listened to the Word of God, questioned themselves and their context and were courageous to stand up for change. Young Christians today look for places and churches where this impetus of the reformation is present – and not just maintenance of tradition. As an ecclesia semper reformanda, we are a church that needs constant reformation.
