Calvin Colloquium 1509-1564

Take part in this event marking 500 years since Calvin's birth, co-sponsored by Churches Together in England, Churches Together in Britain and Ireland, the Department of Theology University of Exeter and the Centre for the Study of the Christian Church.

Calvin's influence, for good or ill, has been considerable on many of the churches in England and Wales.
