Service Orders - Friday, 25 June 2021 – The Commemoration of the Augsburg Confession

The Augsburg Confession was written largely by Philipp Melanchthon in language of studied moderation and was presented at Augsburg to the Emperor Charles V on 25 June 1530. In 1580, when the Book of Concord was drawn up, the unaltered Augsburg Confession was included as the principal Lutheran confession. In several ways this day, rather than 31 October, is the suitable occasion to remember the Reformation.
