Reformation Sunday is October 30, 2016.
This year, we commemorate the 500th anniversary of the publication of Desiderius Erasmus's Novum Instrumentum omne; the first printed version of the New Testament in Greek.
Presbyterians celebrate the tradition that grounds their faith on Reformation Sunday. It is always the last Sunday in October, marking the occasion in 1517 when Martin Luther posted his 95 theses on the church door in Wittenberg, Germany.
