To God Be The Glory

This is the inside of the French church in Aix where every Sunday evening, there is an English church service. I liked the stained glass and the "to God be the Glory" which sums up my desire for the end of my stay in France.

On the back wall of this church is an inscription about Calvin and how he wrote a letter to this same French church to encourage them during their time of persecution in 1561. The church was founded in 1557. To translate the quote from his letter, he writes to the church "We have confidence in God that His hand is upon you, to keep you safe and protect you." I can only imagine what comfort the persecuted church took in reading his letter, much like the early church took in reading Paul the Apostle's letters.
