Reformation Day is traditionally celebrated on October 31. On this day in 1517, Martin Luther published and nailed his Ninety-Five Theses that sparked the Reformation – and changed the world forever. This year is particularly special because it is the 500th anniversary year of the Reformation. Protestants the world over are commemorating this extraordinarily significant year, event, and day. Protestant Christians and churches in Nagaland are direct inheritors of the invaluable gifts of the Reformation. Regrettably, we all seem to be blissfully oblivious and carelessly distracted. Foundational affirmations and truths of the Reformation, such as “Sola Scriptura,” “Sola Fide,” “Sola Gratia,” “Solus Christus,” “Soli Deo Gloria,” are infinitely more important than the many other lesser goods that vie for our attention and press for our action. This is just a note to publicly register the significance of this day, Reformation Day, because it would be a grave travesty and gross remiss on our part if we just let it pass us by.
