Richard Rohlin explains to a group of children what the Protestant Reformation was all about in terms they can understand. He set his goal for 10 minutes, but took 14 to finish it. This is not intended to be a scholarly presentation but an explanation to children and he does an excellent job. Each year our church has a Reformation Day party. Since Reformation Day occurs on October 31st, it provides a Christian alternative to Halloween (see Robert Rohlin's sermon on Halloween for why we discourage our membership from practicing this satanic holiday). There is divided opinion among scholars as to whether Baptists are Protestants. We contend they are not, but that we do enjoy many of the benefits of the Protestant Reformation. Indeed it is something for which we should all be grateful. |
