Pastor Stéphane Desmarais with his Excellency Jean-Pierre Jouyet
On October the 15th in Soho, a service of commemoration of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation took place in front of a packed church and in the presence of His Excellency the French Ambassador, M Jean-Pierre Jouyet.
The French Choir of London (les Fauristes) under the baton of Blandine de Raulin wonderfully animated this service. The pastor Stéphane Desmarais focused his preach on the power of hope and the absolute necessity of human respect.
On this occasion, representatives of the Huguenot community made the kind gesture of joining us, including Brian de Save, president of the Huguenot Society and Peter Duval, deputy director of the French hospital, la Providence.
