THE REFORMATION 2017 Chris continues his discussion of the Neo-Reformed movement, considering the differences between what men like Luther and Calvin believed vs. their modern counterparts. In just a few years will be the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation, the remembrance of when Martin Luther nailed his 95 Thesis to the church door in Wittenburg on October 31, 1517. A celebration is planned in the year 2017 -- that will include both the Vatican and Lutheran World Federation. A report in Geneva by both parties is said to declare that "both were guilty of harming Christian unity in the past." But what do they mean by unity? And if Rome was then what she is today, would the original Reformers have had anything to do with this coming ecumenical event?
