While much of the world is buzzing about Halloween and attending “harvest” parties, let’s not forget about Reformation Day.
Here’s another meme and some theological links about Reformation Day for your reading pleasure:
True story.
So what is Reformation Day?
Perhaps you’ve seen some tweets running about the web, today:
31 October: forget Hallowe'en. Today is Reformation Day. Luther nails his 95 theses to that church door in Wittenberg, 496 years ago today.

Okay.
So I thought there were more tweets, it turns out all my Twitter friends retweeted this same tweet.
None the less, here’s some more information about Reformation Day:

Luther didn’t want to destroy or move away from the Catholic Church- he wanted to shed light on its really really bad practice of selling indulgences, and the Church’s standing in the gate between Man and God. Read up- you’ll NOT be offended- promise!!!
Luther was in no way a perfect man, but his paperwork was in order:)
