Calvin in Geneva: Psalm singing at St. Pierre

[jgrig2]

An Organ in the House of the Lord!!! ohh, how far have hath thou fallen St. pierre

[oblix137]

the organ sounds nice, but is it just me or is the organist just doing his/her own thing and hope the audience can keep up?

So many of the Protestants ( Reformed ( = " Calvinists " = " Presbyterians " ) are descendants of the French Protestants , ( " Huguenots " ) , who found refuge in Switzerland between the XVI th and XVIII th centuries because of the intense repression they endured in France , their country , followed by the complete interdiction of Protestantism ...

Geneva welcomed many , many Huguenots .

For instance , Jean-Jacques Rousseau was of French Protestant ascendency .

Calvin was French , not Swiss

When was this? Was this the Calvin's 500 year anniversary with the PCA? My parents might be there if that's the case.

@foucachon If your folks were there for the Calvin quincentenary they were there for this. I led a tour of mostly PCA folks and joined the one David Hall led for the Sunday July 5, 2009 in Geneva. Wonderful day!

They are singing Psalm 124

[BondDouglas]

@nganir Thanks for your comment, but they're singing (I was there) I Greet Thee Who My Sure Redeemer Art. Psalm and hymn tunes are portable though you may be only familiar with this one with Psalm 124.

I am looking for the words of the 90 psalm in russian.....

[BondDouglas]

@charlotteprc I will see what I can do to help you find them

[bradbavarde]

wonderful psalm tune, not crazy about Calvinist theology though

[BondDouglas]

Thanks for the comment. What is it about Calvinist theology you don't like?

[bradbavarde]

Well, I really don't want to debate the pre-destination. Suffice it to say that as a former Presbyterian who is now Eastern Orthodox, I can not reconcile the Reformed Tradition's view of Juridicial Justification, sola scriptura. and salvation as authentic Christian teachings. The video by Father Lazar, "Salvation: Theosis or Lottery" is an excellent commentary on the difference between the Western and Eastern views.
