Andrew Lortie

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Andrew Lortie (or André Lortie) was a leading Huguenot Protestant theologian, author and emigre leader, born in France and resident of London at his death, heading the French church there.

Lortie was a well-known author of books attacking the Holy See and transubstantiation and was an early, prominent Protestant theologian.

Most Huguenot churches in the UK and US have since merged with Anglican-based or Reform-based Protestant churches.

So many Huguenots fled to the UK in the 17th century that it is often said a majority of English are descendants of at least one Huguenot.
