John Calvin, "Ecclesiastical Ordinances" (Geneva, Switzerland), 1533Influenced by earlier reformers including Erasmus and Luther, John Calvin (1509-1564) emerged as a dynamic and important Protestant leader in the 1530s. Born in France but later moving and working in Switzerland, Calvin's ideas and theology influenced the rapid spread of new Protestant denominations in the Holy Roman Empire, Switzerland, The Netherlands, England, and France. Puritanism in England and the Huguenot movement in France were both based on Calvin's theology. The "Ecclesiastical Ordinances" were a clear statement of Calvin's beliefs and practices of the Protestant movement he led in Switzerland. The inhabitants of Geneva approved them by vote where they became governing articles.

Of the Frequency, Place and Time of Preaching

Each Sunday, at daybreak, there shall be a sermon in St. Peter's and St. Gervaise's, also at the customary hour at St. Peter, Magdalene and St. Gervaise. At three o'clock, as well, in all three parishes, the second sermon.... 

On work days, besides the two sermons mentioned, there shall be preaching three times each week, on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. These sermons shall be announced for an early hour so that they may be finished before the day's work begins. On special days of prayer the Sunday order is to be observed. 

To carry out these provisions and the other responsibilities pertaining to the ministry, five ministers and three coadjutors will be needed. The latter will also be ministers and help and reinforce the others as the occasion arises. 

Concerning the Second Order, Called Teachers

The proper duty of teachers is to instruct the faithful in sound doctrine so that the purity of the gospel is not corrupted by ignorance or evil opinions. We include here the aids and instructions necessary to preserve the doctrines and to keep the church from becoming desolate for lack of pastors and ministers. To use a more familiar expression, we shall call it the order of the schools.
