Therefore, we have determined that it would be best to forgo it this month and resume on July 6. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause.

Please RSVP to barbara-sullivan@sbcglobal.net.

On October 31, 1517, an Augustinian monk posted ninety-five statements for discussion on the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany. Dr. Martin Luther hoped that posting his theses would bring about an academic debate regarding repentance, the sale of indulgences, and other matters of concern within the Roman Catholic Church. However, Rome excluded Luther from its churches, judging him to be a heretic. Luther’s reforms, centered on the teaching that a believer is justified (accepted by God) by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, sparked religious reforms not only in the German states but also in many European countries.
