  • Dating the Reformation
    The Protestant Reformation was the 16th-century religious, political, intellectual and cultural upheaval that splintered Catholic Europe, setting in place the structures and beliefs that would define the continent in the modern era. In northern and central Europe, reformers like Martin Luther, John Calvin and Henry VIII challenged papal authority and questioned the Catholic Church’s ability to define Christian practice. They argued for a religious and political redistribution of power into the hands of Bible- and pamphlet-reading pastors and princes. The disruption triggered wars, persecutions and the so-called Counter-Reformation, the Catholic Church’s delayed but forceful response to the Protestants. DATING THE REFORMATION Historians usually date the start of the Protestant Reformation to the 1517 publication of Martin Luther’s “95 Theses.” Its ending can be placed anywhere from the 1555 Peace of Augsburg, which allowed for the coexistence of Catholicism and Lutheranism in Germany, to the 1648 Treaty of Westphalia, which ended the Thirty Years’ War. The key ideas of the Reformation—a call to purify the church and a belief that the Bible, not tradition, should be the sole source of spiritual authority—were not themselves novel. However, Luther and the other reformers became the first to skillfully use the power of the printing press to give their ideas a wide audience. 1 Did You Know? No reformer was more adept than Martin Luther at using the power of the press to spread his ideas. Between 1518 and 1525, Luther published more works than the next 17 most prolific reformers combined. THE REFORMATION: GERMANY AND LUTHERANISM Martin Luther (1483-1546) was an Augustinian monk and university lecturer in Wittenberg when he composed his “95 Theses,” which protested the pope’s sale of reprieves from penance, or indulgences.

  • The Seven Windows at Church of the Reformation, Lutheran, Affton
    EFLECTING THE UTHERAN ERITAGE TheR Seven Windows at Church of theL Reformation, Lutheran,H Affton, Missouri: by Alicia von Stamwitz; photographs by Richard Potts Shortly after Rev. David Pelsue was installed as the fourth pastor of the Church of the Reformation, Lutheran, in Affton, Missouri, he began research- ing stained glass studios in the area. He and his congregation hoped to mark the church’s 50th anniversary by commis- sioning custom windows for the north wall of the nave. “The nave of the church was clear glass,” Rev. Pelsue said, “which is a lit- tle unusual for a Lutheran church. Along the top perimeter of the church by the roofline, we do have a series of 3' x 3' windows, but those have just simple geometric patterns—rectangles and squares of plain and colored glass.” One day, when Rev. Pelsue was returning from a pastoral visit, he spot- ted Preston Art Glass Studio. He went in and looked around, and he immediately liked what he saw. He discussed his plans with Dale Preston, the owner. “Dale’s studio was a good fit. I told him what I wanted to do, he gave me his card, and that was it! The rest is histo- ry.” Even now, ten years later, Rev. Pelsue’s voice rises with excitement as he describes the process of designing the windows. He and an elder from the congregation named Mark Bliese worked with Preston Art Glass design- er Carol Wright, brainstorming and passing drawings back and forth.

  • Begleitprogramm Coburg Begleitprogramm Coburg Grußwort
    VERANSTALTER PARTNER BEGLEITPROGRAMM COBURG BEGLEITPROGRAMM COBURG Grußwort Liebe Besucherinnen und Besucher der Bayerischen Landesausstellung, liebe Bürgerinnen und Bürger, „Es ist ein überaus reizender und für Studien geeigneter Ort.“ Diese Worte stammen von Martin Luther aus seiner Zeit in unserer Stadt. Fast sechs Monate verbrachte er auf der Veste und hat uns mit seinen geistigen Hinterlassenschaften in Form von Briefen, Schrift­ stücken und Übersetzungen, die er während seines Aufenthalts 1530 verfasste, einen reichen Schatz hinterlassen. Zugegebenerweise war Luthers Aufenthalt in Coburg nicht ganz freiwillig. 1530 stand er unter Reichsacht und befand sich damit in Lebensgefahr. Johann der Beständige, Kurfürst von Sachsen, war ein erklärter Anhänger Luthers und bot ihm in seiner südlichsten Burg – der Coburger Veste – Schutz und Unterkunft. Umgeben von den sicheren Mauern verfolgte Luther die Geschehnisse während des Augsburger Reichstags, schrieb Briefe, Manifeste und Denkschriften und arbeitete an seiner Bibelüber­ setzung. Die Zeit in Coburg gilt heute als eine der produktivsten und vor allem am besten dokumentierten Schaffensperioden Luthers. Sehr zur Freude der Gläubigen nahm Luther aktiv am Kirchen­ leben in unserer Stadt teil. Er predigte, beispielsweise während der Osterfeiertage, auch in der Morizkirche. Diese beiden Tatsachen machen die Bayerische Landesausstel­ lung in diesem Jahr auch so einzigartig, denn sie findet sowohl auf der Veste, einer der am besten erhaltenen deutschen Burganlagen, wie auch in der frisch sanierten Morizkirche statt. So werden die Orte, die untrennbar mit den Geschehnissen der Reformation verbunden sind, neu in den Fokus gerückt. Neben dem Reformator widmet sich die Bayerische Landesaus­ stellung der Zeit rund um 1500. Dies war in Deutschland und vor allem in Bayern eine Zeit großer Veränderungen und eine Zeit, in der sich viel bewegt hat.
