Tale of 2 Cities – 7pm

June 19, 2015 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Associate Professor of History, Judith Meyer will present “Voices from the Past: A Tale of Two French Communities” at 7pm on Friday, June 19 at the AF Center in Southbury. This presentation (in English) will take a close look at how and why the French city of La Rochelle became a bastion of French Protestantism in the 16th century, in order to shed light on the extraordinary appeal of the Reformation. Then a close look at the small town of Courthézon in the south of France in the early 17th century will offer insights into how the Protestant minority in the town managed to coexist with the majority Catholic populace and still uphold the integrity of their own faith.

Light refreshments will be served following the presentation. Admission is $10 (Free for AFNWCT Members). Reservations are kindly requested prior to June 18 by calling (203) 707-0710 or by sending checks to AFNWCT, 1 Pomperaug Office Park, Suite 301, Southbury, CT 06488 or paying by credit card on-line
