Why did Geneva become the centre for Calvinism in the 1540s?
Geneva had already embraced the Reformation before Calvin first came there in 1536, though it appears this was more outward than inward, particularly on the part of the Aristocratic Leadership of the Councils, such as Ami Perrin. Calvin sought to implement what he considered Scripturally based reforms, but in hindsight, he moved too far too fast, and both he and Farel were evicted, at which time, Calvin went to minister in Strasbourg to a congregation of French refugees. When Roman Catholic Cardinal Sadoleto wrote to Geneva in 1539 inviting them to return to the Roman church, none was willing or able to give a reply. Calvin was therefore sought, his polemic abilities being widely known and greatly appreciated. It was Ami Perrin himself who led the gracious invitation to bring Calvin back to Geneva. Thus, in 1541, Calvin returns with pomp and fanfare to stay at Geneva until his death in 1564. During this second stay in Geneva, a more moderately tempered Calvin brought the city to be the shining star and symbolism of the Reformation. He faithfully expounded the Word of God several times a week, he established free and illustrious public education, the morals of the city were raised so much that John Knox called the city, "the most perfect school of Christ since the apostles." Refugees from all over Europe, notably France, England and Scotland, flocked to the city for it's open and amiable protection of all such persecuted Christians. The remarkable thing is that Calvin was not on any of the councils, nor held any position of elected leadership, and was not even a citizen until a couple years before his death! All of these changes were affected by his invincible constancy in pursuit of the glory of God through the Scriptures alone. From Geneva, Calvinism, both doctrinally and practically spread throughout Europe as refugees returned to their native lands and sought to implement the beautiful Christianity they had experienced at Geneva.
