Event
The Patriarch Dismisses the Delegation
Our delegation was received coldly in Constantinople. The Patriarch dismissed our Confession as another form of heresy, and our envoy was returned without ceremony. It is a reminder that Lutheranism stands apart — from Rome and from Constantinople alike.

145historical_info = reformation.20.historical_info The Tübingen correspondence ultimately failed to produce doctrinal agreement: Patriarch Jeremias II's three responses (1576, 1579, 1581) rejected Lutheran positions on sola fide, sola scriptura, and the filioque, insisting that Orthodoxy could not accept what it viewed as innovations. The Lutherans eventually concluded that further correspondence would be fruitless and ended the exchange in 1581.
