Michael Servetus Memorial

Text:

Duteous and grateful followers of Calvin our great Reformer, yet condemning an error which was that of his age, and strongly attached to liberty of conscience according to the true principles of his Reformation and gospel, we have erected this expiatory monument. Oct. 27, 1903

What to say about Servetus? From John Calvin’s Geneva: A Walking Guide

“In 1903, some Protestants felt it necessary to erect a monument of reconciliation in Geneva admitting that the death of Servetus was an error born out of the mistake of the age, which violated the spirit of the Reformation. Some would like for the Roman Catholic Church to do the same.”
