Saint Nicholas Church, Strasbourg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saint Nicholas Church, Strasbourg (French: Église Saint-Nicolas; German: Nikolaikirche) is a small Gothic church in Strasbourg, France. Jean Calvin led services and preached at this church in 1538.[1] Albert Schweitzer was the pastor of the church from 1900 to 1913 and used to play the organ there.[2]
The Church no longer functions as a parish church, due to the decline of the population of the centre of Strasbourg. Today it is used by a Charismatic group called "Renouveau Saint Nicholas". The charismatic group, led by the pastors Daniel Hebert and Pastor Ringerbach, began renting the church for their Sunday services in 1975. [3]
However, the Church remains affiliated to the Protestant Church of Augsburg Confession of Alsace and Lorraine (EPCAAL). [4]
