Marburg Colloquy

The Marburg Colloquy was a significant meeting held in 1529 in Marburg, Germany, where key Protestant leaders, including Martin Luther and Ulrich Zwingli, gathered to discuss their differences in Christian beliefs, particularly about the Lord's Supper. The aim was to unify Protestant factions against the Catholic Church, but they could not agree on the nature of Christ's presence in communion. This disagreement highlighted divisions within the Reformation movement, ultimately leading to separate traditions within Protestantism. The colloquy emphasizes the challenges of achieving unity in religious beliefs.
