"The French Confession of Faith (1559) or Confession de La Rochelle or Gallic Confession of Faith (Confessio Gallicana) is a Reformed confession of faith.
Under the sponsorship of Geneva a Calvinist church was organised in Paris in 1555 with a formal organisation and regular services. Later other Calvinist churches were organized elsewhere in France. The Gallic Confession began as a statement of faith sent by these "Reformed" churches of France to John Calvin in 1557 during a period of persecution. Working from this, and probably with the help of Theodore Beza and Pierre Viret, Calvin and his pupil De Chandieu wrote a confession for them in the form of thirty-five articles." - (en.wikipedia.org 12.06.2024)
