| Summary: | The 500th anniversary of the Reformation offers the occasion for reconsideration of the meaning of the Reformation not only for its time but for today.

Seen through such a lens, reformation can be affirmed from an ecumenical perspective. It also can be a critical message of hope for the present church in a period of instability and decline in the West. |
