Abbotsford, BC: Metzger Collection – 1525, Reform & Revolution

1525: Reform & Revolution

August 28, 2024 – February 21, 2025

A Metzger Collection exhibit to mark the 500-year anniversary of the Anabaptist movement in its historical context.

This exhibit puts a single year, 1525, in focus. 500 years ago, this momentous year marked the birth of the Anabaptist movement as a key part of a larger escalation in the revolutionary fervour of the 16th-century Reformation. Witness the intricate web of connections between people and movements as the theology of the Reformation pushed into the realm of socio-political issues. Was this a push to be suppressed as destructive chaos or to be championed as biblical truth?
