For the person responsible for cultural activities and initiatives of the Waldensian Church of Trapani and Marsala, Georgia E. Betz, “the activity of a Protestant Church in the European context is never separated from the search for the good of the city: research which is at the same time cultural and spiritual and music, as a harmonious language, represents the perfect synthesis of this aspiration”.
In Northern Europe, Betz continues, the Protestant Churches represent millions of citizens, in some cases the majority in the Scandinavian countries. Being Church means being part of society, with concrete responsibilities and commitment.
The initiative is carried out in partnership with the APS Utopia Laboratory, it will be public and entry will be free.
