EVANGELICAL WOMEN IN THE FIRST HALF OF 1900; GENEVIEVE JONTE P/8

 

In this brief post I will focus on a woman named Genevieve Jonte. She lived from 1906 - 1983. Genevieve was the daughter and granddaughter of the Montbeliard region pastors. She studied theology in Paris, then was an assistant with the Montbeliard parish in 1923, and was eventually ordained in 1937. Genevieve was the first pastor of the small Saint John temple de Peugeot family had paid for and built in the new workers quarter - it was later demolished when the Peugeot company needed the land.
