Reformationstag: Churches Together on the Path - Nordmagazin
The Reformationstag, or Reformation Day, is a significant date in German history, commemorating the day Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the Wittenberg Castle Church in 1517. This act sparked the Protestant Reformation, forever changing the course of Christianity. This year, on October 31st, the Nordmagazin, a regional news program, will be focusing on the theme of "Kirchen Gemeinsam Unterwegs" (Churches Together on the Path).
