Grace in action

The defining date of the Reformation is considered to be when Luther nailed the theses to the church door on 31 October 1517. It initiated a process of modernisation the effects of which are still reflected today.

Germany will be the focal point for Christians from all over the world during the 500th anniversary of this event in 2017.

Luther’s preference for Erfurt rather than Leipzig to study law was due to the fine international reputation of the University of Erfurt, which was founded in 1392.
