The answer is always YES. If you have a pulse, you are wanted here. (For those without a pulse, there’s an automatic defibrillator in the Community Hall.)

Martin Luther was a priest and professor at the University of Wittenberg in Germany. In the process of trying to correct problems within the Roman Catholic Church, he initiated the Protestant Reformation. Luther objected to several tenets of the Catholic Church of the time, including the idea that people could buy forgiveness of sins. Luther taught that God alone could forgive sins and that faith alone was sufficient to gain entrance to heaven. For these and other radical teachings, Luther was excommunicated from the Roman Catholic Church in early 1521, then condemned to death as a heretic. Immediately after the proceedings, Luther was kidnapped (rescued) and taken to Wartburg Castle, where he lived for a year under the protection of Frederic the Wise. During his exile, he translated the New Testament from Greek into German, which allowed the gospel to be read aloud and understood by commoners – a revolutionary concept at the time. As rebellion against the Roman Catholic Church spread, it grew increasingly violent, and secular authorities asked Luther to return to Wittenberg to bring some order to the movement. In the following 24 years, he completed translation of the Old Testament, wrote hundreds of treatises on faith, and established what is now known as the Lutheran Church.
