Day 4 - Tuesday 18th September, 2012

After breakfast we will have our third and fourth lectures on Zwingli. After lunch we will visit Reichenau, a small island very close to St. Elisabeth's. Reichenau was the centre of the monks who came from England evangelizing the German peoples. There are three remarkable Romanesque churches starting from the eighth century in remarkable condition in early Romanesque style. This will be our opportunity to learn about the original Christianity in Germany. The Island of Reichenau is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In early evening, return to St. Elisabeth's and our evening meal.

Heinrich Bullinger

Heinrich Bullinger 1504 – 1575.
Elected to be pastor of the Grossmunster after Zwingli's death in 1531 Bullinger continued the work of the Reformation in German speaking Switzerland. His writings had a deep influence on the course of the Anglican Reformation with his work enjoying considerable popularity in the reign of Elizabeth I, much more than Calvin's. He was largely the author of the Second Helvetic Confession which was adopted by the Reformed churches in Switzerland, Scotland, France, Hungary and Poland.
