    q 500 Jahre Reformation Luther Martin Martin Superstar — Dossier »Reformationsjubiläum Nr. 1« Martin Luther, Heinz Zander, Öl auf Hartfaser, 1982 95 Thesen Am 31. Oktober 1517 schrieb Martin Luther, der sich bereits in Predigten gegen den Ablasshandel ausgesprochen hatte, einen Brief an seine kirchlichen Vorgesetzten in der Hoffnung, damit den Missstand beheben zu können. Den Briefen legt er 95 Thesen bei, die als Grundlage für eine Disputation zu diesem Thema dienen sollten. Dass Luther seine Thesen mit lauten Hammerschlägen an die Tür der Schlosskirche zu Wittenberg geschlagen haben soll, ist jedoch umstritten.

Meet your MCI Tour Manager, who will assist the group to awaiting chartered motorcoach for a transfer to Wittenberg via Juterborg for a visit to Nikolaikirche. Johann Tetzel was a preacher in Juterborg who sold absolution of sins to help the Archbishop of Mainz to pay off the debts he had incurred in securing the agreement of the Pope to his acquisition of the Archbishopric. It is believed that Martin Luther was inspired to write his Ninety-Five Theses, in part, due to Tetzel's actions. Continue to Wittenberg for a panoramic tour including the marketplace, Stadtkirche, Lutherhaus, Schloßkirche, etc. Hotel check-in. Evening Welcome Dinner and overnight. Wittenberg is located on Elbe River. It was a medieval center, famed as the birthplace of the Reformation. Wittenberg is of such importance in Luther's life that its official name is Lutherstadt- Wittenberg (Luther City Wittenberg). Day 3 Wittenberg (B,D) Sightseeing in Wittenberg includes entrance to the Lutherhalle, a museum of the Reformation. In the room occupied by Luther, preserved in its original condition, are displayed Luther's writings, prints, medals, Luther's university lectern, his pulpit from St Mary's Church and a number of valuable pictures. Also visit the Schlosskirche. From the church’s tower there are extensive views. It was to the wooden doors of this church that Luther nailed his 95 "Theses" in October 1517. The original doors were destroyed by fire during the Seven Years War; the present bronze doors, bearing the Latin text of the Theses, were installed in 1858.

Concordian THE MAGAZINE OF CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY WISCONSIN Faith Assurance of things hoped for, evidence of things not seen. WINTER/SPRING PG_1_Cover_rev.indd 1 2/27/14 9:39 AM WELCOME Author and Finisher of Our Faith Occasionally, people will describe Concordia as a faith-based institution. While broadly speaking that is true, the description as it stands alone is not adequate. Ours is not some generic faith, nor do we give room to the popular perspective that one version of faith is as credible as any other. Indeed, our faith is not a faith which might leave the impression that simply and sincerely “believing with all your heart” is the objective. Believing in what? Concordia is not merely a faith-based institution. More to the point, Concordia is a Christ-centered university. As Luther’s hymn asserts, “Faith looks to Jesus Christ alone, who did for all the world atone; he is our one Redeemer.” That refrain echoes to the very heart of Concordia’s self-denition. In contrast to the world of spiritual ambiguity surrounding us, Concordia’s rst Core Value is for ours to be a university that is “Christ-centered.” Our denition for what this means is, “We have faith in the redemptive work of Jesus Christ.” Concordia’s students may come from dierent faith backgrounds, and there are perhaps some who insist that they are not people of faith.
