A Swiss Prostitute and John Calvin

One of my colleagues brought this story to my attention today:

GENEVA – A well-known prostitute who campaigned for the rights and dignity of sex workers was given an honored place of rest on Monday, in the same cemetery where Protestantism’s John Calvin is buried…

Apparently, this high honor is causing no small amount of angst amidst some very conservative folks in Switzerland.
