A joint meeting with our friends from the Eglise Réformée
Last Monday Christ Church council met, and for the first time, welcomed the Pastor of the Eglise Protestante Unie de France (the Protestant church) and some of their council members to a joint meeting.
The Rueilly agreement, between the Church of England and the EPUF was signed in 2001: see more at this link. We have always had good relations with our friends and neighbours in the Place du Temple, but we are now making this friendship more concrete through joint projects.
