Happy Reformation Day

So while everyone else was in Halloween mood, us Reformed Baptists were celebrating Reformation Day...it was on the eve of All Saints Day (31 October) 1517 that Luther posted his 95 theses on the door of Wittenburg University. These theses were largely protestations against the Catholic practice of selling indulgences, along with other heresies he found in the Catholic church. At school, Justus said, "hey, let's post the 95 Theses somewhere..." and so we did. Ta da! Grant found some ridiculous props (what kind of teacher has a blonde wig handy in his school office??) Everyone walking down the corridor to the staffroom had to dodge the long strip of paper - there were many questions asked, to be sure!
