11 Women of the Reformation Cornelia Schlarb 1. Introduction Since The
Women of the reformation Cornelia Schlarb 1. Introduction Since the EKD (Evangelical Church in Germany) has proclaimed a Luther or reformation decade in 2008 in order to celebrate the beginning of the reformation 500 years ago, the interest in what and how women contributed to the spreading of the new reformatory ideas and live style has been increasing in Germany. The situation has been completely different when I was studying evangelical theology in Marburg and Heidelberg in the beginning of the 1980th. In that time German scholars, or rather female scholars, only started to research the bible and church history about women's contribution, although in other countries, like in the USA, Roland H. Bainton (1894-1984) had already published his book “Women of the Reformation in Germany and Italy” in 1971. It is very significant that it took 24 years to translate this book into German. In 1995 it had become available as paperback issue with the title “Frauen der Reformation. Von Katharina von Bora bis Anna Zwingli”. It contains seven biographies and a summarized description of women of the Anabaptist movement. It quickly became very popular and in 1996 already the third edition was published. In our lectures and seminars we only heard about Martin Luther, his life as monk and his conversion, about Luther´s posting of theses in 1517 in Wittenberg, about his central reformatory scriptures in the 1520th and the bible translation. We had to learn the important milestones of the reformation like the Imperial Diets / Reichstage in Worms 1521 and -

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. Editorial Von Himmel und Hölle, von Gnade so oder anders, von der Freiheit eines Christenmenschen, von den ersten Schritten zur Aufklärung bis zum unheiligen Paktieren von Protestantismus und Staat, von der deutschen Sprache bis zur Nation, vom Bildersturm bis zum Erblühen der protestantischen Kirchenmusik, 1. die Reformation, die vor 499 Jahren in Wittenberg ihren Als unser Herr Ausgang nahm, hat die Welt verändert.

Luther Brassensemble
Luther Brassensemble Luther Brassensemble, är en professionell ensemble med handplockade musiker från bland annat GöteborgsOperan, Göteborg Wind Orchestra och Bohuslän BigBand. Tillsammans spelar vi psalmer och koralfantasier i klassisk possaunenchor (trombonkör) och brassensemble. Ensemblen utgörs av fyra trumpeter, ett valthorn, fyra tromboner, en tuba och en slagverkare, vilket utgör den perfekta sammansättningen musiker för att fylla kyrkorummet med underbara klanger. Firandet av Martin Luther och det kommande reformationsåret närmar sig med stormsteg, vad är väl bättre än att fra denna höjdpunk med ljuvlig brassmusik? Cirka 500 år efter reformationstiden har vi i Luther Brassensemble satt ihop ett konsertprogram med välkända, folkkära svenska och tyska psalmer från 1500-1600-talet i både traditionell och ny fattning. Vi erbjuder upplyftande brassmusik på högsta nivå. I konserten fnns det möjlighet för textläsning och församlingssång (eventuellt andakt). Vi har hämtat inspiration från våra tyska kollegor i Genesis Brass, och lägger därför med en ljudfl från deras inspelning av psalm #2 – Herren, vår Gud, är en konung (Lobe den Herren, den machtigen Konig). Genesis Brass fnns även att lyssna på via Spotify. Vi är tillgängliga under perioden 1 mars till 9 april, 2 maj till 4 juni och är även tillgängliga för bokningar under hösten. Då vi kommer att turnera med denna produktion behövs ett samarbete gällande konsertdatum från Er och oss. För praktisk information och programförslag se följande sidor.
