The ''Église chrétienne protestante française-allemande de Bruxelles'' (the Franco-German Protestant Christian Church of Brussels) was the official name of Brussels Protestant Church from 1816-1830. Following the Battle of Waterloo (1815) Brussels was the southern capital of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands under the House of Nassau-Orange. The congregation was attended by the Protestant William of Orange-Nassau.〔http://www.eglisemusee.be〕 At this time in Brussels besides this church there were two other Protestant congregations, both Dutch-speaking.〔http://www.theologienet.nl/documenten/Braekman%20Brussel%20Protestantisme.rtf〕 From 1816 one of these met in the Temple des Augustins. Following the pastorate of Jean-Pierre Charlier 1804-1822, and after a one-year vacancy, Genevan preacher of ''Le Reveil'', Merle D'Aubigne, was called as pastor and served 1823-1830.〔 When D'Aubigné left in the wake of the Belgian revolution and independence of 1830, Chrétien-Henri Vent was appointed as successor.〔http://www.eglisedumusee.be/eglise/pasteurs.html〕 In 1830 the Belgian state officially recognized the church as ''L'Église Protestante de Bruxelles'' (Brussels Protestant Church), a name it bears to the present day.〔 == References == 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Église chrétienne protestante française-allemande de Bruxelles」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
