Captions available
The idea
After a coup in fifteen fifty-five Calvin's Consistory policed Geneva's behavior, the model community. Calvinism spread to France as the Huguenots, to Scotland as the Presbyterians under John Knox, a witness name, and into England's Church as the Puritans.
In practice
Lutherans and Calvinists as rivals, each damning the other.
Where people slip
Knox rests on the witness. The anchor omits him.
