Richard Rogers (theologian)

Richard Rogers (1550?–1618) was an English clergyman, a nonconformist under both Elizabeth I and James I.

In 1583 he, with twenty-six others, petitioned the privy council against Archbishop John Whitgift's three articles, and against Bishop Aylmer's proceedings on them at his visitation.

After a suspension of eight months Rogers resumed his preaching, and was restored to his ministry through the intervention of Sir Robert Wroth.

Rogers espoused the presbyterian movement under Thomas Cartwright, and signed the Book of Discipline.

He is mentioned by Richard Bancroft as one of a classis round Braintree side, together with Culverwell, Gifford, and others.
