This year we celebrate 500 years since Martin Luther's 'protest' against certain practices within the Christian church at that time.
For November, we invite you to read about, ponder, and perhaps write about the significance of Christian reformers, including Luther, down the ages.
To begin, we offer the following links:

From the blog post above -
Here are some of Luther's sayings:
- You are not only responsible
for what you say, but also for what you do not say.
- A Christian man is the most
free lord of all, and subject to none; a Christian man is the most dutiful
servant of all, and subject to everyone.
- I know not the way God leads
me, but I do well know my Guide.
- If you are not allowed to laugh
in heaven, I do not want to go there.
- Those speak foolishly who
ascribe their anger or their impatience to such as offend them or to
tribulation. Tribulation does not make people impatient, but proves that
they are impatient. So everyone may learn from tribulation how his heart
is constituted.
- I have so much to do that I
shall spend the first three hours in prayer.
- Next to the Word of God, the
noble art of music is the greatest treasure in the world.
