Good stuff!
I'll be presenting on Reformation too...thanks for the infos.
Jack
I always prefer not to be labelled a "Protestant" bcos it seems like we are reactionary or exists as a protest against something... :)
Normally I like the label of an evangelical better for it is derived from the word 'evangel' or good news, we are bearers of the gospel... or even 'Reformed', heheh
True. The term might not accurately reflect the essence.
If I'm not wrong, Protestant literally means 'to bear witness to', and here I believe it is bearing witness to the truth. If we see it this way, there is nothing negative about the term... =)
Well Adi, words tend to change in their popular meaning, and so, today, protestant seems to denote a negative reactionary movement of some kind. It would do us well, if we seek to reach the masses, to be aware of these changes and adapt, and we can do so, while remaining true and faithful to the spirit and concept of the word.
The origin of the label Protestant...

Evangelical would mean "gospeller" or "a herald of the good news" or someone who bear witness to the good news, so I prefer it.
