[1] Happy Reformation Day plus 495 Years

31 October 2012 marks the 495^th anniversary of the posting by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther of the ninety-five theses upon the door of the cathedral in Wittenberg, Germany, beginning the Protestant Reformation. Dr. Luther’s posted theses were posted as an invitation to his seminary students to debate the biblical fidelity or not of issues related to the sale of indulgences by the Roman Catholic Church. Luther had no idea of the firestorm to be kindled by this action that shook the foundations of the church and called her back to God after centuries of darkness.

Today additionally marks the fourth anniversary of the rebirth of the Christian Observer on 31 October 2008 as an Internet publication after the now 199-year-old publication had ceased printed publication in mid-2007 due to the increasing costs of printing and postage. The Christian Observer staff too pauses to remember the passing of the Rev. Dr. Edwin P. Elliott Jr., Publisher, Editor Emeritus and Edwin’s mother Mrs. Ellen L.B. Elliott, Edwin’s wife Anne Elliott, and Anne’s mother Mrs. Lucy Brisbois who, beginning with Edwin in October 2009, have all left this fallen world and are now in the arms of their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

May God send his Holy Spirit upon this crooked and perverse nation and world, to fill his elect and call them to repentance, revival, and a new spirit of Full Bible Reformation, and that Jesus Christ will be proclaimed by all nations and peoples as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

[2] Confiscation of Property of St. George’s Tron Church in Glasgow, Scotland, by the Church of Scotland Liable to Wreck Established Ministry to Glasgow’s Needy

A 26 October 2012 The Herald article by Brian Donnelly titled “Those In Need Will Suffer if We Are Evicted” reports that the members of St. George’s Tron Church in Glasgow [Editor’s Note: Not Edinburgh as was reported in an earlier PW issue. Thank you, as always, J.M.], Scotland, are concerned that the church’s ministry to addicts, alcoholics, asylum seekers and immigrants from all over the world may be destroyed if the Church of Scotland prevails in the Kirk’s efforts to confiscate the church buildings and monetary assets of the church and evict the congregation.

The St. George’s Tron Church congregation recently quit the Church of Scotland over the issue of the ordination of homosexuals. The Kirk has already rejected an offer of UK£1 million in exchange for letting the congregation keep their church property.
