John Calvin: Celebrating a life at full throttle
Lecture celebrating the influence of John Calvin on both church and culture. This public lecture was delivered at Duke Street Church, Richmond, UK on October 22nd 2009 by Dr Liam Goligher.

Over 100 people attended the lecture which marked the 500th anniversary of Calvin’s birth .
Although Jean Calvin lived so long ago, his teachings had a considerable impact on not only the development of the church but also the shaping of the state and they continue to resonate today.
Liam’s lecture explored Calvin’s extensive influence on many areas of life including education, poverty, the law, economics and civil government, as well as the church and its relationship with the state.
Despite his great achievements, Calvin remained humble in his faith. A month before he died, he gathered together the magistrates of the city of Geneva and testified to his complete dependence upon God and confessed himself “miserable sinner”. At his insistence he was buried in an unmarked grave.
“Calvin is certainly not just an academic from history.” explained Liam. “Time magazine, for instance, recently said that the renaissance of Calvinism in America was the third biggest force changing the world, after the internet and the global financial crisis. A whole new generation of younger Christian leaders are looking back to their ecclesiastical roots and finding huge value in the depth and robustness of Calvin’s orthodox theology.”
It was a stimulating evening and the audience’s attention was rewarded in mind and body, with greater knowledge and a fine array of canapés.
If you are interested in learning more about Calvin’s theology, come to the Calvin Reading Group which meets monthly at The Cricketers pub on Richmond Green. Details are available from the church office.

John Calvin: Celebrating a life at full throttle
Thanksgiving Day for the Redevelopment
A Thanksgiving Service and Lunch were held at the church on Sunday 17th May to celebrate the completion of a major 17-month re-development project.
The newly enlarged building includes a new hall and various meeting rooms, new offices to accommodate a growing staff team, two state of the art kitchens, and a nursery with a garden area for children to play in.
“We’re excited that our redevelopment project is complete,” said Liam Goligher, Senior Minister, “Duke Street Church has a long tradition of serving the people of Richmond and we’re looking forward to welcoming the community into our new facilities so that people can enjoy the many events and activities we offer.”
The service was attended by Susan Kramer MP, Councillor Jane Dodds and Councillor Pamela Fleming.” I’m delighted that Duke Street Church is such a thriving place with so much going on. It was great to see the results of the redevelopment first hand, and I am sure the new facilities will prove to be a brilliant resource for the local community, said Mrs Kramer.
Originally constructed in 1962, the church undertook this project to accommodate its growing congregation and to provide additional facilities. Contractors, Crispin & Borst carried out the project, which cost in excess of £3 million.
Duke Street Church typically attracts 500 people every Sunday and numerous activities take place during the week catering to the community, including playgroups for preschoolers, meals for the homeless, after school kids club, Friday night youth group and a cafe. The church also hosts other organisations’ events such as the Richmond Local History Society. The church has served Richmond since 1850.
