The Reformation was without doubt the greatest event in history since the birth of the Christian church. By it Almighty God brought about extraordinary revival that spread through Europe, unparalleled doctrinal rediscovery, and a fresh calling-out of His people from both false religion and this world’s fallen culture. The Reformation set vast numbers on the road to Heaven and holiness, forged the character of believing churches for centuries to come, and provided a faith-inspiring example of God’s powerful method of working through the proclamation of the Word and prayer alone. The ecumenical movement, including Rome, Anglicans and all other mainline denominations are commemorating the 500th anniversary of the Reformation as a time for reconciliation, claiming in deceptive language that all parties now share the same objectives and beliefs, when their real view is that the Reformation was a tragic mistake, that gave rise to centuries of sinful and stubborn separation. This year’s School will present by contrast the immense glories and achievements of the Reformation in order to inspire and galvanize true Gospel work in line with God’s own directions. It will also show the loss of the ethos of the Reformation that occurs when evangelicals adopt the ‘clothing’ of the world in their life, worship and methods. This year’s afternoon interval sessions will hear from experienced pastors in India and Eastern Europe engaged in church planting and major translation projects.
