Evangelical Reformed Church

Roots in the Reformation

The Evangelical Reformed Church writes about itself (our translation): «The official Protestant Churches are an open, diverse and democratically organised religious denomination. They attach importance to tolerance and solidarity, as well as to individual responsibility and freedom. They have their roots in the Reformation of the 16th century, and their fathers include Huldreych Zwingli, the reformer of Zurich, and John Calvin, the reformer of Geneva.»

The website of the Protestant Reformed Churches of Switzerland is available in German and French.
