Reformers on the run

One thing that has struck me reading about the history of the Reformation is how almost every major Protestant figure seems to have had to leave their homes at one point or another. These include: Luther, Melanchthon, Bullinger, Calvin, Bucer, Carlstadt, Osiander and Knox. I don't think Zwingli, Cramner, Ridley and Latimer had to leave there homes but they all got killed in one way or another.

This was no ivory tower dispute.

We have to be thankful for their love of God.
