Reformation Sunday

So today we celebrated Reformation Sunday. That was the day ( actually October 31,1517) the Roman Catholic monk Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the All Saints Church in Wittenburg Germany. They were intended to promote reform in the Roman Catholic church but resulted in a break from Roman Catholicism and  the formation of the Protestant Faith.
The church I am a member of is part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, an evolution of that first Protestant faith. We actually worship outside, having no building- though we do have a tent for inclement weather! However neither the tent nor the oak trees that roof our outdoor chapel have a door. So we don't nail up those theses! But we did have a potluck dinner. I feel sure Martin Luther would have approved except he would have wanted to have beer to drink!
