In this the 50th Anniversary year of the birth of John Calvin, it is
right that we should think of one of the people who has most impacted
world history.
Calvin had ideas on how we could live better
lives - particularly how we could live in close harmony with God and
each other - but because his ideas were radical, his life was filled
with dramatic events and dangers.
He was run out of town - and
then welcomed back. He was accussed of being too harsh - and also too
tender hearted. When he explained what the bible meant he was considered
too logical and too spiritual!
He must have been an amazing man to have caused such a stir!
