Five hundred years ago, Wittenberg was the site that sparked the Reformation, when Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to a church door. This year, Wittenberg is not only the centre of a year-long commemoration of that event but will also, for a day at least, focus on bringing together the Church.

On Wednesday, July 5, the World Communion of Reformed Churches General Council will move from Leipzig to Wittenberg to host an ecumenical service of worship that will see the WCRC sign two documents.
