Andrea Ferrari speaks at Friday Night Lectures

Join us on Friday, January 20 at 7:00 p.m. when Rev. Andrea Ferrari, URC church planter in Milan, Italy will speak on the topic of "Lessons from the Past: An Italian Reformer Speaks Today." His lecture will focus on John Diodati, an Italian reformer from the 16th and 17th centuries, on whom Pastor Ferrari has done extensive research. This evening will also be a great opportunity for young people to learn of what Diodati accomplished at a very young age. Rev. Ferrari is a missionary and pastor ordained in the United Reformed Churches in North America. He is an Italian national and serves as pastor of Chiesa Evangelica Riformata ‘Filadelfia’ (CERF) in Milan (Novate), Italy.

Rev. Ferrari’s entrance into the URCNA was by a colloquium doctum administered by Classis Southwest. His ministry is overseen by the Consistory of Christ United Reformed Church in Santee, CA with the advice of Classis Southwest.

Rev. Ferrari possesses theological degrees from three institutions: a Bachelor of Arts degree from the Assemblies of God Bible Institute in Italy (1992), a Master of Philosophy from the University of Wales (2004), and another Masters degree (Dottore Magistrale) from the University of Milan (2007). He is the author of John Diodati’s Doctrine of Holy Scripture (Grand Rapids: Reformation Heritage Books, 2006), as well as numerous articles published in theological journals and magazines.

Andrea and his wife Cristina were married in 1992 and have two sons, Simone (Simon) and Danielle (Daniel). They live in Bollate, Milan.
