News Update

We have just completed a successful 'Reformation Week' in Haus Barnabas. The five participants took part enthusiastically in the evening sessions on our 'local' 16th century reformers, Zwingli, Bullinger, Oecolampadius and Bucer together with Erasmus who through his work on the Greek New Testament text was used by God to give such impetus to the revival of interest and study of the Holy Scriptures. We were privileged to have Canon Peter Cook with us, whose detailed knowledge of John Calvin added greatly to discussions after each evening's presentation. Visits were made to Zwingli's birth place in the Swiss Alps and the cities of Zürich and Basel. The photo above was taken outside the manse of the Swiss Reformed Church in Riehen-Dorf, Basel from where it's minister Pfarrer Daniel Holder gave us helpful information about the reformation in Basel as well as updating us on the situation within the Swiss Reformation Church today.
