We (my wife and I) are certainly teaching our 3 children about it. <BR/><BR/>I imagine that in the USA tonight many, many more churches will celebrate some kind of Halloween-ish fastival than will even mention the Reformation.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07306854704766653209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354626964012460623.post-7183996625156573332007-10-31T16:05:00.000-04:002007-10-31T16:05:00.000-04:00Eric,Your post was a breath of fresh air, especial...Eric,<BR/><BR/>Your post was a breath of fresh air, especially as I read it after posting on Alan Knox's site.<BR/><BR/>How can a celebration of such an amazing event,be overshadowed, by what is at best, a self indulgent fun-fest?<BR/><BR/>Our children will never know the importance of the Reformation if we don't teach it, and celebrate auspicious events such as you have described.Aussie Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16199918171163666399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354626964012460623.post-60268514830659234292007-10-31T16:02:00.000-04:002007-10-31T16:02:00.000-04:00Ed,He grew more up there than I ever thought he co...Ed,<BR/><BR/>He grew more up there than I ever thought he could.
