\"reformation\"<\/a>2017 marks\u00a0the 500th<\/sup> anniversary since, according to the legend, an Augustinian friar named Martin Luther nailed to the door of a German church 95 Theses that challenged the malpractices of sections of the Roman Catholic hierarchy. \u00a0On that 31 October 1517, little did he know that his ideas would shake Europe to its very foundations and change its history forever.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Across the continent numerous events are planned, from art to worship, to remember that episode in Christian history, and to reflect on its influence on our society as an extensive movement of reform.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2017, twelve parishes across London will welcome each other, fellow Londoners, and visitors, inviting them to experience for themselves the diverse heritage of the Reformation. \u00a0\u2018Still Reforming\u2019 is an invitation from British and Continental Churches in London to mark this anniversary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
