A largely-forgotten history reminds us that the first attempted Christian settlement in North America was by Huguenots seeking a haven from persecution in France. This follows the era of Christopher Columbus whose first adventures to the New World date from 1492, soon followed by the Cabots from England a few years later. Not to forget the English Jamestown settlement of 1607, the Huguenot adventure occurred sixty years before the Pilgrim Fathers founded the Plymouth plantation in 1620. Based on a visit to Florida in 2010 with his wife Marian, Dr Clifford presents a heroic and gripping story of Reformed faith and fortitude. All in all, the testimony of the Florida Huguenots should never be forgotten.  Indeed, with thanksgiving to God, we remember these faithful servants of Christ, of whom ‘the world was not worthy’ (Hebrews 11: 38).
