2020 marks the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther’s hugely influential treatise “The Freedom of a Christian” (De Libertate Christiana). In this year the ELCA is celebrating and sharing multiple resources for congregations and individuals to celebrate at elca500.org. This includes a downloadable copy of the text itself as well as a study guide. I recommend that although we are already close to the end of 2020 congregations and leaders take time to review this text, particularly as we have so many conversations about freedom and what that means for us in a time of pandemic.
