Women move the church – since Luther's time

As we think of Luther attaching his 95 theses on the church door in Wittenberg on October 31, 1517, let us not forget what the movement of the Reformation meant for women.
Women were soon enthusiastic about the ideas of the Reformation. For them, the priesthood of all who were baptized became the basis and justification for becoming active in the movement. When the Reformation anniversary is celebrated on October 31, 2017, it is also about 500 years of inspiring ideas by women Protestants. Intelligent and courageous women like Argula von Grumbach or the Duchess Elisabeth von Braunschweig-Lüneburg campaigned for the followers of Luther and their criticism of the papal church. As seen in the Reformation Altar in the Wittenberg church painted by Lucas Cranach Senior, women were accepted as an important part of the church.
Until today, women have influenced and shaped the church.
The emancipatory energy of the ideas of the Reformation has not yet been exhausted. The Seventh-Day Adventist Church sees itself as a continuation of the Reformation. The priesthood of all believers is the basis for our Christian faith. Let us thank God for all the women in our church who are called by God and who have dedicated their talents to ministering to God’s children everywhere. They need our support and appreciation.
