Wittenberg Concord: Difference between revisions

'''Wittenberg Concord''' (1536), is a religious [[concordat]] signed by [[Reformed churches|Reformed]] and [[Lutheranism|Lutheran]] theologians and churchmen on May 29, 1536 as an attempted resolution of their differences with respect to the [[Real Presence]] of Christ's body and blood in the [[Eucharist]]. The Reformed who signed it were [[Martin Bucer]], [[Wolfgang Fabricius Capito]], [[Matthäus Alber]], [[Martin Frecht]], [[Jakob Otter]], and [[Wolfgang Musculus]]. The [[Lutheranism|Lutherans]] who signed were [[Martin Luther]], [[Philipp Melanchthon]], [[Johannes Bugenhagen]], [[Justus Jonas]], [[Caspar Cruciger the Elder|Caspar Cruciger]], [[Justus Menius]], [[Friedrich Myconius]], [[Urban Rhegius]], [[George Spalatin]]. This document defined the doctrine of the [[Real Presence]] of Christ's body and blood in the [[Eucharist]] as the [[Sacramental Union]] and maintained the real eating of the body and blood of Christ by "unworthy communicants" (''[[manducatio indignorum]]''). [[Martin Bucer]] would later disavow his subscription to this document.
