Union Of Free Evangelical Churches
Evangelical churches are free " churches professing "born in France in 1849 , the union between the Reformed churches and independent churches born of "Wake" of faith in the nineteenth century spread from Geneva.
History
In general bubbling following the revolution of 1848 , a general assembly of Reformed Protestantism meets to propose an amendment to the Concordat. The preparatory discussions, which touched the issue of separation of church and state, are rendered obsolete as the government extended the Concordat. It's finally on the need for a doctrinal basis for the Reformed Church that most of the debate is alive.
Liberals do not want any confession of faith, the Orthodox want one, but not at the cost of division in the Church. Only a few men whose Frederic Monod , pastor at Paris, and Agenor Gasparin , argue that we must confess his faith even if the unit is to suffer. The assembly refused to settle, they resign and call those who believe that the church must confess his faith clearly, to join them. Frdric Monod sees his hopes disappointed because this is a very small minority who follows him, he is unable to establish a Reformed Church Evangelical.
Reformed resigned were then joined by independent churches and evangelistic stations and it is this alliance that gave birth to the Union of Free Evangelical Churches of France. The Synod ended up on 1 September 1849.
