The temple will be open from 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm for a free visit. From 3pm to 4pm there will be a conference "Protestantism of Bessin, 1685-1787: from Revocation to Tolerance".
The revocation of the Edict of Nantes was a shock wave in the provinces where Catholics and Reformed coexisted, and especially in Normandy where for more than a century civil and religious peace reigned. We will see how the Norman protesters (and more particularly the old Generality of Caen) reacted to this revocation, adapted and ultimately helped to spread the idea of civil tolerance.
Some historical pieces will be presented on this occasion.
This conference is the second of the cycle on Norman Protestantism organized at the temple of Courseulles (in 2021, "The Protestants of the Shores")
