Biography
Born on 22 February 1942 in La Voulte-sur-Rhône, Tartier was the son of pastor Roland Tartier and nurse Madeleine Tissot.[2] He attended secondary school in Montbéliard before earning a master's degree in theology from the Faculté de théologie protestante de Strasbourg. He was named a pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in France and served as ecclesiastical inspector of Montbéliard from 1977 to 1992.[3] He was elected to succeed Jacques Stewart as president of the Protestant Federation of France on 21 September 1996.[4] He took office in 1997 and was succeeded by Jean-Arnold de Clermont in 1999.[5] He was criticized for his lack of an official platform on the civil solidarity pact, passed by the National Assembly in 1999.[5] He then served as co-president of the Dombes Group from 2000 to 2014.[6]
