Reformation Sunday

With Reformation Sunday coming in just a few days, the following saying by Nelson Mandela really hits the spirit of the celebration.

Witness, also, the ground breaking Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification a document created, and agreed to, by the Catholic Church's Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity and the Lutheran World Federation in 1999, as a result of extensive ecumenical dialogue. It states that the churches now share "a common understanding of our justification by God's grace through faith in Christ," one that brings together the Protestant affirmation of the primacy of faith and the Catholic affirmation that good works demonstrates that faith.  To the parties involved, this essentially resolves the conflict over the nature of justification which was at the root of the Protestant Reformation.
