"Catholics and Lutherans celebrate Reformation with new Bible translations"
thetablet.co.uk
"Five centuries after the start of the Protestant Reformation, leaders of the Catholic and Lutheran churches came together in a demonstration of unity to release new Bible translations.
At an ecumenical service at St Eberhard's Catholic Cathedral, in Stuttgart, Germanyt, clergy from both churches gathered to release revised German translations of the Catholic and Lutheran Bibles.
The release came as the 500th anniversary of the Reformation neared. It began in 1517 when theologian Martin Luther developed his 95 Theses challenging long-held Catholic practices.
Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich and Freising, president of the German bishops' conference, emphasized the sacred Scriptures as a strong bond shared by Catholics and Protestants...
During the last year, the Catholic and Lutheran translations of the Bible were subjected to thorough review and revision. A group of 200 people from both churches participated in the revision process.
'With the new translations, we remember our shared foundation - the sacred Scriptures - and together express our appreciation for each other's translation,' said Lutheran Bishop Heinrich Bedford-Strohm, chairman of the Council of the Evangelical Church in Germany...
'I am very pleased that we are placing God's word in our midst in such an ecumenically meaningful year as 2017, in which we together recall the events of the Reformation 500 years ago and celebrate them today as a celebration of Christ, to place God's word in our midst,' Cardinal Marx said...
Leaders of both churches announced they will use the new Bible translations in future ecumenical services."
