Reformation Wall in Geneva Vandalised
Evangelical Focus ^ | 7/16/19

Posted on 07/18/2019 6:34:04 PM PDT by marshmallow

The monument depicting Calvin, Farel, Bèze and Knox appeared covered in paint with the rainbow colours. The city files a complaint.

Toursits walking through the Parc des Bastions in Geneva (Switzerland) discovered on July 15 that the Reformation Wall had been vandalised. The monument is one of the main touristic attractions of the city in which Jean Calvin, one of the key French Protestant Reformers, developed his work after 1536. The wall, inaugurated in 1909, also honours the influence of Guillaume Farel, Théodore de Bèze and John Knox.

The paint was thrown on the monument forming a rainbow, a symbol of the LGBT groups. In the first reaction, the police said no-one had claimed the attack.

There’s a reason why homosexuality has never been an accepted practice in any civilization.

Apparently John Knox didn’t get the memo that his name was supposed to be spelled Jean Noux.

Calvin was French. He was born Jean Cauvin. "John Calvin" is the English equivalent. Knox was Scottish. He didn't need to be anglicized.
