What a week! #REFORC2025 has ended, and it was a blast. I had the opportunity to discuss a Lithuanian text published in London to raise aid for Reformed churches in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania devastated by the Deluge.

Plenary lecture by Violet Soen (KU Leuven), taking the 16th century revolt in the Low Countries as starting point. Did the Dutch revolt become a laboratory of Christian dissent?

Happening now: the opening of #reforc2025 by REFORC president Herman Selderhuis and Matthias Riedl (Central European University ). We look forward to what's to come!

#reforc2025 is getting started today! Where would we be without all the volunteers who flexibly and happily manage everything and solve every problem at @weareceu.bsky.social

Did you know @weareceu.bsky.social in #Vienna is the host of #reforc2025? It is the only transnational, English-language undergraduate- and graduate-level “crossroads” #university in Europe accredited both in the European Union and the United States.

In addition to the many other papers on Early Modern Christianity, this year's commemoration of the 500 year anniversary of the #germanpeasantwar means that #reforc2025 brings together new research and a broad geographic range of scholars to discuss the theme of Religion and Rebellion.

Looking forward to seeing all the people and discovering the content behind these numbers!

#twodaystogo #earlymodernchristianity #conference #religionandrebellion #reforc2025

Three days to go! ⏰ We can't wait seeing all the #earlymodernchristianity scholars at @weareceu.bsky.social in Vienna on May 22, 2025.

Have a good trip!

Since its start in 2010 REFORC has supported and initiated projects with a focus on the Reformation in the eastern parts of Europe. Key result is a new book series solely devoted to Early Modern Christianity in Eastern Europe. @degruyterbrill.bsky.social
