The Presbyterian Church celebrates Reformation Sunday on the last Sunday of October, commemorating a\u00a0significant event in the history of the Reformed tradition. It was on Oct. 31, 1517, that Martin Luther posted\u00a0his 95 thesis on the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany. Martin Luther was protesting against\u00a0the corruption of the Church in Rome and the great abuses attending the sale of indulgences. Luther, a German\u00a0priest and professor, is credited with starting the movement known as the Protestant Reformation.<\/p>\n

Some 20 years later, a French\/Swiss theologian, John Calvin further refined the reformers\u2019 new way of thinking about the nature of God and God\u2019s relationship with humanity in what came to be known as Reformed\u00a0Theology. This theology proved to be the driving force of the Reformation, particularly in Germany, France,\u00a0the Netherlands, England and Scotland.<\/p>\n

John Knox, a Scotsman who studied with Calvin in Geneva, took Calvin\u2019s teachings back to Scotland. The\u00a0Presbyterian Church traces its ancestry back primarily to Knox in Scotland and to England. The First\u00a0Presbyterian Church is Cazenovia was started in 1799.<\/p>\n
