Who do you think you are? - discovering your history

This Autumn marks 500 years since The Reformation started – an upheaval that had a profound effect on church and society throughout Europe and beyond. Ultimately, it's helped shape who we are - as Christians, as a Church of England, and as a country.

Curious to know more?

Here's some suggestions:
  • Go to a one-hour comedy introduction ‘A monk’s tale’ next week in Southampton – a show that had rave reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe.
  • Read an introductory article or two about the Reformation – its impact on the church, its core belief – and a perspective from a Catholic journalist
  • Watch a film or two about Martin Luther – a slightly older one starring Joseph Fiennes or a brand new one
  • Go to some of a 2-day conference in Southampton (with some great speakers lined up) later this month
  • Read a book or two about the Reformation – a humorous one ('The nearly infallible history of the Reformation') or a more serious one ('Why the reformation still matters') bringing it up to date
