The Marburg Colloquy of 1529, a gathering of the major Saxon and Swiss theologians of the Reformation, was held to reach a consensus.
Others at the colloquy warned their fellow Protestants that emphasizing the Real Presence of the Body and Blood and the words of Consecration would undermine the priority of faith over works, make the church–rather than Christ–the agent of salvation, and encourage precisely the kind of superstition the Reformation sought to end.
The Marburg Colloquy participants, while agreeing to disagree on the doctrine of the Real Presence, did manage to vote unanimously to reject the Roman Catholic understanding of the Mass as a reenactment of the sacrifice of Christ on the cross.

 Confessions of a Young Lutheran - Martin Luther’s Interpretation of John 6
Of the Marburg Colloquy theses Eugene Klug writes, "The effort fared well until the conferees came to the fifteenth article, which dealt with the Lord's Supper."[8] The Lord's Supper raised many concerns and the theologians found themselves in a disagreement that could not be resolved, and at the heart of this disagreement was John 6.
The struggle that would unfold had been shown some time earlier as James Kittleson reports, "A careful reading of the letter from Strasburg revealed that Capito, Bucer and Zwingli were already appealing to John 6:63 as support for their understanding of what the bread and the wine were."[9] p.

The 1529 Colloquy at Marburg attempted to reconcile Lutherans and Zwinglians on the doctrine of the real presence, and was nearly able to achieve its aim.
Marburg is important not so much for what it achieved but as a symbol of what it failed to achieve.
And I stand by my thesis that Marburg has something to do with all this, even though Lutherans did not go on to great feats of fictional prowess, and two Puritans, Bunyan and Defoe, pretty much invented the modern novel.

 Luther and Zwingli on The Real Presence
In reading the accounts of Zwingli’s side of the sacramental debate, we see that he is every bit as earnest as Luther; every bit as convinced that his position is what the Bible teaches (see Gäbler, for instance, 133ff; agreement with Erasmus was also a factor).
With regard to the question of what is and is not a body, the force of Zwingli’s argument is that Scripture never says that Christ’s body is in more than one place at once.
  At Marburg, Luther admitted the use of “brother” as a trope for “cousin” as a concession to Zwingli.
