Ulrich Zwingli presents his 67 Theses at The First Zürich Disputation.
At the First Zürich Disputation, in 1523, the City Council and 600 citizens, convened in the City Hall to observe the debate between Ulrich Zwingli and four delegates from the Bishop of Constance.
At this gathering the city formerly adopted the Reformation and encouraged Zwingli to continue with his Reforms.
In Zwingli's 67 Theses, which he made public at The First Zürich
Disputation (29 January 1523), he stated:
"3. Christ is the only way to salvation for all who ever were, are and shall be."
"19. Christ is the only mediator between God and ourselves."
"42. But if ministers are unfaithful and transgress the Laws of Christ, they may be deposed in accordance with God's Will."
"56. Whoever remits any sin only for the sake of money is the companion of Simon (Magus) and Balaam, and a real messenger of the devil."
Diethelm Roist, the Mayor of Zürich from 1524 to 1544, became the chief supporter of Zwingli's Reformation in Zürich...
