Argula von Grumbach (1492 – 1554 or 1557) was a Bavarian noblewoman, a wife and mother, and a passionate reformer of the church. A contemporary and friend of Martin Luther, she used her strong command of scripture and the written word to create German pamphlets that supported his work of reform. She was also instrumental in arranging a conversation between leaders of the Wittenbergers and the South German and Swiss Protestants during the Diet of Augsburg, bridging a theological gap over the presence of Christ in the Eucharist that bore fruit in the Wittenberg Concord of 1536. *<\/p>\n

\u201cThe word of God must be our weapon. We must not hit out with weapons, but love our neighbor, and keep peace with one another.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
