Philip Delmé

c. 1593–c. 1654

French Reformed Church of London; Huguenot pastor.

Biography

Of Genevan and Leiden training, Delmé was pastor of the French Reformed (Huguenot) congregation at Threadneedle Street in London — the stranger church that had been authorised by Edward VI's 1550 charter and that linked English Reformed practice to the wider French Reformed world. His Assembly presence was sporadic but symbolically significant: the inclusion of a French Reformed pastor signalled the Assembly's continental Reformed sympathies and its commitment to the wider Protestant union of the Solemn League period. He voted with the Presbyterian mainstream. Died around 1654.

Role at the Assembly

English Presbyterian divine

The great majority of the sitting members were English parish ministers of Presbyterian conviction. They formed the drafting core of the Assembly, manning its three standing committees and supplying most of the text of the Confession, the two Catechisms, and the Directory for Public Worship.
