Geneva, Switzerland (Collège Voltaire student newspaper) – In 2009 there are some important birthdays and events to celebrate them: the 500th birthday of John Calvin and the 450th anniversary of the Collège de Geneve. Can you imagine them being so old?! Let’s go back in time: during the 16th century some people, inspired by Martin Luther’s ideas, wanted to establish what would become the Protestant religion. Calvin didn’t agree with the Catholics of the day because he felt they obliged believers to pay for their salvation. He believed that salvation was a gift from God. Calvin, a French reformer, arrived in Geneva in 1536.
