Description

Ort
Regula Church

The Reformed Church of Chur, in cooperation with the regional church office for migration and worldwide church, pays tribute to the activities of the Waldensians, which were founded in 1174 in southern France (Lyon).
Today, the Waldensian Church is spread throughout Italy and in some countries of South America. In Italy, the community currently has around 40,000 members.

In February, the Regula Church will host the photo exhibition "Immagina Riesi" by Gustavo Alàbiso. Alàbiso developed this exhibition as part of the 850th anniversary of the Waldensians (1174–2024).

The exhibition refers to the spirit of optimism of the sixties. The portraits and texts also document the social and political tensions that shaped the mining town of Riesi at the time. The Servizio Cristiano still exists and the Diakonie of the Waldensian Church is currently financially supported by far more Italians than the church has members.
