I can't believe I forgot about Reformation Day...but to remind myself, October 31st 1517 was the day Martin Luther nailed the 95 Theses on the door of a church in Wittenburg. To utter an understatement, "It was a historic event."

Also, to add upon my previous post, I think Douglas Groothuis expresses my feelings exactly:

"Some Christians are hailing postmodernism as the trend that will make the church interesting and exciting to postmoderns. We are told that Christians must shift their emphasis from objective truth to communal experience, from rational argument to subjective appeal, from doctrinal orthodoxy to ‘relevant’ practices...this move is nothing less than fatal to Christian integrity and biblical witness. It is also illogical philosophically. We have something far better to offer."

And Adam Cummings has written a great poem called "Freedom Of The Will". Since he has built upon a hymn by Watts, I think with some adjustments it could make its way into the hymnal...though don't expect the Wesleyans to be singing it just yet!
