\nThis is the anniversary of Luther’s posting of his 95 theses concerning the sale of indulgences.<\/p>\n
In the sixteenth century various dates were suggested in various places for an annual commemoration of the reform of the church. The Thirty Years War disrupted these observances and provoked anti-Roman sentiment. In 1667, Elector John George II of Saxony reestablished the festival and appointed it for October 31.<\/p>\n
The celebration of the day spread among Lutherans, but the observance is not widely kept by Protestant Christians, nor is it universal among world Lutherans. It is the only day in the calendar peculiar to the Lutheran church.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n

This was the first time since the Reformation that the Roman Catholic Church signed such a document of doctrinal agreement with any other church. In this document, the mutual condemnations of the 16th Century with regard to the doctrine of justification were rescinded. The Lutheran Church of Australia, through its Pastors Conferences, assented to this agreement, and also signed a similar document locally between the LCA and the Australian Catholic Church. While many still disagree as to the actual extent of agreement represented in these agreements, it should be taken account of in the celebration of this day.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tJoint Declaration of Justification (1999)\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tJustification: A Common Statement of the Australian Lutheran-Roman Catholic Dialogue (1999)\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t Seasonal Resources – Reformation This is the anniversary of Luther’s posting of his 95 theses concerning the sale of indulgences.
