On a scrap piece of paper, list a few problems

that you feel that exist in this school.

Bellwork

Protestant Reformation

Became a monk in

Germany in hopes to find religious enlightenment He studied and taught the

Bible Helped to expose the

Church’s corruption to Martin Luther

Martin Luther

Selling indulgences

Basically “tickets to heaven” Buying them would erase the

sinner’s sins Also, could help shorten

ancestor’s time in purgatory Where Catholics believe they

must wait before entering heaven to purify them of their sins

Used by the Church to build massive churches or to bribe their way into higher positions within the Church

Corruption of the Church

95 letters about what the

Church was doing wrong Nailed them to the church

door Mainly disagreed with

indulgences Challenged the authority of

the Pope Pope allowed for Luther to

repent Luther ignored the Pope

95 Thesis

Pope Leo X met with King Charles V about

Luther Luther granted safe passage to Worms

John Huss had too… Luther was asked to “recant” his statements

Diet of Worms

“Unless I am refuted and convicted by

testimonies of the Scriptures or by clear arguments (since I believe neither the Pope nor the Councils alone; it being evident that they have often erred and contradicted themselves), I am conquered by the Holy Scriptures quoted by me, and my conscience is bound in the word of God: I can not and will not recant any thing, since it is unsafe and dangerous to do any thing against the conscience.”

Luther’s Response

Girl at Columbine school shooting

Asked if she was Christian with a gun to her head Answered yes, and died

Malala Yousafzai Spoke out for education of women in Pakistan Taliban tried to kill her Still speaks out for education in Pakistan

“If a man hasn’t something in which he would die for, then he isn’t fit to live”.

-Martin Luther King Jr.

Other Examples of People with Incredible Faith

Think about what it is in your life that you

would be willing to die for (it can be an actual thing, it could someone, or it could be for an ideal or value).

Write two paragraphs about what your “thing” is and why it is so special to you.

***Please take this seriously***
