John Hurrion (1675–1731)

John Hurrion (1675-1731), was born in Suffolk in the east of England, in a period when those who had stood apart from the Church of England after the Act of Uniformity of 1662 were undergoing persecution. He was set apart for ministry at the age of twenty one and by the 1690s, evangelical churches in the Nonconformist tradition were facing new dangers — this time from within.
