麻豆传媒 will mark the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation with a variety of activities and events scheduled for Oct. 31 through Nov. 4. The Protestant Reformation began in October 1517 when the German priest, Martin Luther published his 95 theses, which promoted salvation through faith in Jesus Christ over the prevailing practice of buying salvation from the church.
