George van Parris

George van Parris (died 1551) was a Dutch Arian, who was burnt at the stake in London having been excommunicated by his fellow Dutchmen for denying that Jesus Christ was God.

He became naturalised 29 October 1550, and was a member for a time of the Dutch Church in Austin Friars, London.

[2] After the death of Joan Bocher, who had denied the humanity of Christ, moves were taken against the spread of unitarian opinions.

A commission was issued on 18 January 1551, and Van Parris, having been arrested, was formally examined on 6 April.

Edward VI, in his Journal: Van Parris knew little or no English, and Miles Coverdale interceded as his interpreter.
