Acton Institute Grand Rapids joins Refo500
03-01-2011
The Acton Institute for the Study of Religion & Liberty in Grand Rapids, MI USA, is joining forces with Refo500.
“Refo500 has the potential to help Acton bring its message about the relationship between faith and freedom to a broad and diverse audience around the globe,” said Dr. Stephen J. Grabill, director of programs at the Acton Institute. “The ecumenical vision of Refo500, which broadly encompasses the time period and is not merely a narrow confessional project, shows why the Reformation was so important in the shaping of the modern world,” Grabill said. He observes, for instance, the important contributions of the Roman Catholic School of Salamanca to the development of modern economic thought, as well as to the legacies of the Protestant Reformers on doctrinal, political, and ethical matters.
