The 500th anniversary of the Reformation is this year. Martin Luther, who lived from 1483 to 1546 in Germany, thought that the medieval church needed to be reformed. Luther and his mission began after he watched indulgences being sold in Rome as forgive- ness to people who were afraid of Satan. He felt strongly that forgiveness from sin could not be purchased with money; people cannot earn salvation, they are saved by faith alone. Luther collected 95 points to stoke discussion about the corruption of the medieval church, then nailed his famous “95 Theses” to the door of his hometown church in Witten- berg, kicking off the Protes- tant Reformation. While his intention was to denounce the abuses of the practice of indulgences, the Reformation opened the door for people to express their opinions and ideas.

People traveled across country lines to study with him in Germany. This led to Protes- tant texts, hymnals and prayer books being printed in many languages. As early as the 1600s, churches sprang up in com- munities across Europe, creat- ing regional differences in cus- toms and services. The towns and colonies in New England were founded by Protestant clergy, with the separation of church and state not coming until the American Revolution from 1775 to 1783.
