Reformation Sunday stuff



So, for the sake of historicity, here's a PBS documentary series on Martin Luther.    Interesting stuff, particularly if you're a history buff

Now this is an historical account - trying to be true(er) to the story.  Remember, this wasn't the first or the last "reformation" of the church.  This was however very crucial to the story of the Western Church.    The word Reformation has a much more benign sound to it than what this ended up being.    This ultimately turned out to be more of a revolution than a reformation as time went on - and revolutions tend to be more divisive and/or violent.
