AS the countdown begins towards the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, one member of the Church of Scotland congregation in Geneva is playing a key role in a major part of the celebrations.
Arthur Askew, came to Geneva to work with the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) in 1970 and then spent seven years in Australia before returning to Geneva in 1977 where he’s lived ever since.
“Geneva’s own history, and hence its very identity, is very much bound up with the Reformation,” he explained.
