Abstract Historians have long been puzzled by the character of the English Reformation, but how did contemporaries view it? This article explores the reception of the English Reformation in Wittenberg, focusing on the reactions of Martin Luther and Philip Melanchthon as revealed by their correspondence. Luther and Melanchthon’s responses to events in England in this period show that they were generally well-informed. Although the Wittenberg Reformers cherished hopes of winning England for the Protestant cause, the theological ambiguity of the Henrician Reformation represented a real barrier to England’s negotiations with the Schmalkaldic League. The executions of Thomas More, Anne Boleyn and Thomas Cromwell caused the Wittenberg Reformers to regard Henry VIII with increasing suspicion.

  • Derby City Deanery: NEWSLETTER
    Derby City Deanery NEWSLETTER Rooted in Prayer, December 2017 /#009 Serving Derby, Sharing the Gospel From the Area Dean, Revd Canon Dr Simon Taylor: Dear friends, One of the marks of our Deanery strapline, indeed the foundation of it, is that we are Rooted in Prayer. So I am glad to commend this issue of the Deanery Newsletter with an emphasis on prayer, and articles that speak of mediation, a Rule of Life, and resources to help us to pray. Prayer is the lifeblood of Christian mission, and the heart of Christian life. Prayer together and prayer alone is one of the key features of what it means to be a Christian. As we enter the season of Advent, and begin to prepare ourselves to celebrate God coming to live among us in Jesus, perhaps we can each attend to our prayer. If we each were able to take one step that deepened our prayer lives, and draws us nearer to God then the impact on our churches and our city would be tangible. Please continue to pray for one another in the Deanery and for me. I continue to pray for you. With my prayers and best wishes for a blessed Advent, a joyful Christmas and a peaceful New Year. PS - Bishop Jan is coming to address a special gathering of the Deanery Synod plus others (Wardens, Readers and anyone interested) on 24th January 2018 at St Alkmund's Church. Do please make every effort to be there and to take part what Bishop Jan brings to us. Thank you.
