Wittenberg Prepares For Church Congress Marking 500th Anniversary Of The Reformation

BERLIN, GERMANY - MAY 20: A monument shows Martin Luther on May 20, 2017 in Wittenberg, Germany. Wittenberg and Berlin are hosting a church congress next week to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Reformation that is expected to draw 200,000 visitors and will include an outdoor church service at Wittenberg. In 1517 Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to a church door in Wittenberg, sparking the Reformation movement that led to the creation of Protestant denominations all over the world as well as history's most significant challenge to the hegemony of the Catholic Church in the Christian faith.
