EVANGELICAL WOMEN IN THE FIRST HALF OF 1900; JEANNE ZURCHER P/17

 

In this brief post I will focus on a woman named Jeanne Zurcher, She lived from 1917 - 2007. Jeanne's father was of Swiss origin and her mother was American. She had an early calling which her family refused to acknowledge. Jeanne started her theology studies in Geneva and completed them in Paris. She was an assistant with the Etoile Reformed Church in Paris, with the Mission Populaire (Working Class Mission) in the suburbs, and then with the Evangelical Lutheran Church. When Jeanne was fifty-eight years old, she was ordained at the Suresnes Parish near Paris.
