Geneva

Geneva. The connection of the life-work of Calvin with this city is of peculiar interest. Through his influence, and those associated with him in Christian labor, Geneva became a stronghold of Protestantism, and great changes were wrought in the life of the people. It was from Geneva that the Calvinistic doctrines spread through the countries in which it exerted so mighty an influence. At the present time the State Church of Geneva is rationalistic. A considerable part of the population is Roman Catholic. There is a Free Church, which is evangelical, and there are some Old Catholics.
