<div style="font-size:78%;font-weight:bold;color:#315d78;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.04em;">Reformation</div>
[[Martin Luther]]'s [[Ninety-five Theses]], traditionally dated to 31 October 1517, became an important catalyst of the [[Protestant Reformation]].

<div style="font-size:78%;font-weight:bold;color:#315d78;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.04em;">The Bible in everyday language</div>
Protestant reformers strongly promoted translating and reading the [[Bible]] in the languages spoken by ordinary people; Luther's German New Testament appeared in 1522.

<div style="font-size:78%;font-weight:bold;color:#315d78;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.04em;">A royal priesthood</div>
The Protestant teaching commonly called the [[priesthood of all believers]] emphasizes that every Christian has direct access to God through [[Jesus Christ]] and is called to serve him (1 Peter 2:9; Hebrews 4:14–16).

<div style="font-size:78%;font-weight:bold;color:#315d78;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.04em;">Congregational song</div>
The Reformation encouraged whole congregations—not only choirs or clergy—to sing. Luther wrote hymns, while [[Charles Wesley]] later composed thousands of hymn texts for the [[Methodism|Methodist]] movement.

<div style="font-size:78%;font-weight:bold;color:#315d78;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.04em;">Global mission</div>
The 1792 publication of [[William Carey]]'s missionary appeal helped inspire the modern Protestant missionary movement; Carey later worked as a Bible translator and educator in India.

<div style="font-size:78%;font-weight:bold;color:#315d78;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.04em;">Many traditions, one historic center</div>
[[Lutheranism|Lutherans]], [[Reformed Christianity|Reformed Christians]], [[Anglicanism|Anglicans]], [[Baptists]], [[Methodism|Methodists]], [[Pentecostalism|Pentecostals]] and many evangelical churches differ in practice, yet historically affirm the unique saving work of [[Jesus Christ]] and the authority of Scripture.
