“Today, we join with millions of Christians around the world in celebrating the… anniversary of the Reformation… Protestants have instinctively recognized that a providential series of events was set in motion on this day… when a German professor named Martin Luther posted his Ninety-Five Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg… when we celebrate the rediscovery of the gospel and the recovery of true worship, we commit ourselves once again to the worship of our triune God and the gladhearted declaration of this gospel. And if the Lord should tarry another half-millennium, our prayer is not first of all for another Luther, but that we may be an instrument in the Lord’s hands just as Luther was.”
