Tomorrow morning, Stefano & Justin will be back@ Budrio High School.
We'll speak to a 3rd year class during their History & Philosophy lesson about the 500° anniversary of Reformation.
Yet, our main goal is to engage students with the 5 Solas of Reformation to expose them to Salvation by grace alone, through faith alone in Jesus alone!
In the afternoon we'll host a conference in Budrio's Bookshop.The main speaker will be
Jörg Müller, director of the European School of BiblicalStudies.
Jörg's family
on the maternal side comes from the same village in Thuringia as Luther’s
family: Möhra. Jörg planted and pastored a church in Wartburg where
Luther was brought for hiding after the Diet of Worms and translated the NT
into German. While hiding there, he called himself Knight Jörg.
Jörg will speak on Past Reformation, about what happened in Europe 500 years ago!
We'll have a special guest Tiziano Casella,
a very well-know story-teller from Budrio,
who will speak about Near Reformation.
Tiziano will read from the letters that
John Calvin wrote to Reneé of France the duchess of Ferrara, near Budrio.
In 1536 the young Calvin, who had just published the first edition of his
Institutes,
hide from the inquisition in Ferrara's Castle!
Stefano will then conclude speaking about Present Reformation,
explaining how the motto of Semper Reformanda, challenges today's church and society.
After the conference we'll have a Reformation Dinner hosted @ Le Torri Lounge, the café of the Theatre we use on Sundays.
We'll enjoy some German sausages & sauerkrauts challenging friends with Luther's Quiz.
The winners will receive
Luther's action figure!
Pray with us that all these moments will turn in good Gospel opportunities to share Jesus' hope!
