This is probably a somewhat silly question, but something I am curious about.
Are "reformed" and the "reformation" the same thing?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Is there a difference?

reformed=generally those churches most influenced by the work of John Calvin. thinking primarily of Scottish Presbyterian and Dutch Reformed among lots of others.
reformation is an historical European period, roughly 1450-1650.
has to do with the rise of humanism via the greek and latin texts from Constantinpole, the rise of the nation state, and mostly the division of Christianity into roman catholic, lutheran and reformed.
