Reformation Day in the University Church
Freiburg, Oct 24, 2017
“God is our hope and our strength”: With this motto an ecumenical church service will be held in the Freiburg University Church to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the publication of Martin Luther’s 95 theses through which he introduced a lively debate about a fundamental reform of the church and theology in general. The officiants and preachers include the prefect of the University Church, Prof. Dr. Eberhard Schockenhoff from the Faculty of Theology, the former rector of the Protestant University of Applied Sciences Freiburg, and Prof. Dr. Reiner Marquard from the Faculty of Philosophy.
