On 8 and 9 September the annual theological conference Giornate Teologiche was hosted at IFED (Istituto di Formazione Evangelica e Documentazione – the Evangelical Training and Documentation Institute) in Padua, Italy.
On the fifth centenary of the 95 Theses posted on Wittenberg Cathedral’s door, it was more than natural that the focus of the conference would be on Reformation. For the 300 attendees, the conference was an in-depth, richly stimulating meeting that urged everyone to reflect and live the evangelical faith in an equally integral and integrated way.

Michael Reeves delivered the main addresses, supported by contributions of Italian theologians, pastors, academics and public figures both in talks and panels. Professor Pietro Bolognesi, Director of IFED, delivered a speech on the risk of replacing Reformation with mere moralism. Jonathan Benatti and father Giulio Osto debated on what Luther had to say to the church.
