520 |a I am honored to participate in this theological roundtable on the five-hundredth anniversary of the Protestant Reformation. I do so as a lay Lutheran church historian. In spite of the editors' "prompts," the topic reminds me of that apocryphal final exam question: "Give a history of the universe with a couple of examples." "What do we think are the possibilities for individual and ecclesial ecumenism between Protestants and Catholics? What are the possibilities for common prayer, shared worship, preaching the gospel, church union, and dialogue with those who are religiously unaffiliated? Why should we commemorate or celebrate this anniversary?" Each "prompt" warrants a few bookshelves of response. The "Protestant Reformation" itself is multivalent. The term "Protestant" derives from the 1529 Diet of Speyer where the evangelical estates responded to the imperial mandate to enforce the Edict of Worms outlawing them. Their response, Protestatio, "testified" or "witnessed to" (pro testari) the evangelical estates' commitment to the gospel in the face of political coercion (see Acts 5:29). It was not a protest against the Roman Catholic Church and its doctrine. Unfortunately, "Protestant" quickly became a pejorative name and then facilitated an elastic "enemies list." "Reformation," traditionally associated with Luther's "Ninety-Five Theses" (1517, hence the five-hundredth anniversary), also encompasses many historical and theological interpretations. Perhaps the Roundtable title reflects the effort in From Conflict to Communion: Lutheran-Catholic Common Commemoration of the Reformation in 2017 (2013) to distinguish Luther's reformational concern from the long historical Reformation (Protestantism), so that this anniversary may be both "celebrated" and self-critically "commemorated."
