Marburg Colloquy Fails
1529
Luther and Zwingli met at Marburg in an attempt to unite the German and Swiss wings of the Reformation. They agreed on fourteen points and split bitterly over the fifteenth: whether Christ was truly present in the Eucharist. Luther carved the words Hoc est corpus meum into the tabletop with chalk.
