The 500th anniversary
of the Protestant Reformation
​is just around the corner!

 Tradition ascribes the date of October 31, 1517 as the beginning of the Reformation.  
On October 31, 2017, many in Germany and around the world will mark 500 years 
​since this event that permanently changed the face and course of Christianity.

OUR PURPOSE IS TO RESPOND TOGETHER IN PRAYER REGARDING THE UPCOMING 500TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE REFORMATION 

We are Roman Catholics, Protestants,
and ​Messianic Jews​​

THE WITTENBERG 2017 INITIATIVE IS A GROWING INTERNATIONAL FELLOWSHIP OF FOLLOWERS OF JESUS

We share a common sense that the Lord
​of the Church is leading us to: 
+ Celebrate the gifts of the Reformation 

+ Celebrate also the treasures of the Western
   and Eastern Churches which preceded the
   Reformation and continue to reside in those
   Churches 

+ Grieve the divisions that have fragmented the
   Body of Christ 

+ Honor the church traditions that are different 
​   from our own

​+ Honor our own church traditions
+ Speak truthfully of the wrongs of our
   own church tradition 

+ Own the implications of Christ's
   prayer: "That they may all be one" 

+ Bring to a hurting world a
   newfound knowledge of God's power
   for reconciliation 

+ Pray for Jesus to return to a
​    healed, mature, united Church 
Wittenberg 2017 is An international
​spirit-led MOVEMENT
Our grass-roots movement combines laypeople with full-time ministers.
We represent three generations.

Wittenberg 2017 Featured Story
Christianity Today published an article on their website in October 2016 about the Judensau.  It was written by Deborah Pardo-Kaplan, a Messianic Jew.  It presents a good history, with all sides of the discussion.
