On November 6th, the Faculté Jean Calvin launched a new series of evening lectures: the Conf’Théo, gatherings designed to offer an accessible exploration of biblical, theological, and apologetic themes. This first evening focused on the theme: How Jesus succeeded where Adam failed. Through a biblical journey, from Adam’s calling to Christ’s perfect obedience, we rediscovered the Gospel as the story of a world recreated by the last Adam. The recording of the lecture is available on the Faculty’s YouTube channel.
Around one hundred people were present: students, alumni, friends of the Faculté, pastors, and members of churches from the Aix-en-Provence and Marseille area, as well as from Nîmes and Anduze!
The evening continued with a lively and engaging question-and-answer session, followed by a wonderful, convivial buffet prepared in the student residence and served by FJC students and other members of the residence. A wonderful opportunity to reflect on faith, nurture the Churches, and build bridges between the Faculté and the Churches.
We are already looking forward to the next Theological Conference, which will take place on January 22, 2026. Richard Conrad, lecturer at the FJC, will address the question: Are the texts of the New Testament reliable? This will be another opportunity to explore together the foundations of our faith and to encourage the life of our Churches.
May our Lord bless these gatherings!
