JACKSON, RS. The liturgy and order of the mid-sixteenth century English Church in Geneva. STJ [online]. 2015, vol.1, n.1, pp.167-186. ISSN 2413-9467. http://dx.doi.org/10.17570/STJ.2015.V1N1.A8.
The mid-sixteenth century English church in Geneva is one of the few refugee churches at this period to have been free of dispute and discord. While its origins in Frankfurt, the absence of Lutheran hostility and the protection provided by Calvin and the local Reformed church may all be counted as reasons for its peaceable nature, it is suggested here that this also has much to do with the Order and Liturgy of the church which emphasised practicality, participation and community. The church was also one where many of its members had work to do: both as artisans and merchants as well as work of a literary nature, the greatest achievement of which was the production of the Geneva bible. Activity was undoubtedly also a factor in protecting the church from internal disputation.
