About 80 people gathered at the Reformed Church in Palmerston North to celebrate Reformation Day.
Gaspard de Coligny opened the evening for us reminding us all that It is very important to remember the time of the Reformation.
He also introduced a few other reformers who joined us for the evening:
"We are here this evening to honour and remember those who gave their very lives for their faith such as Joan Boughton who was burnt at the stake, also Margaret Wilson and Marie Durand.
I thank the Lord for William of Orange and his wife who have done much for the Huguenot cause. Margaret Queen of Navarre was one of the very first royal persons to become a hueguenot, her daughter Jeanne D'Albret who was much respected by the Huguenot army and Jeanne's son Henry IV, who fought much for protestant freedoms."
Thanks to everyone who came, helped, and contibuted to the evening!
