Hampton Court Conference
The Hampton Court Conference was held in England in 1604, between King James I and members of the Church of England and the Puritan group. The conference resulted in the 1604 Book of Common Prayer and, in 1611, the King James Version of the Bible.
The conference was called in response to a series of requests for reform set down in the Millenary Petition, a document which contained the signatures of 1000 Puritan ministers. The signatories included Henry Robinson, Anthony Watson, Tobias Matthew, Thomas Dove, Anthony Rudd, Thomas Bilson, Gervase Babington, Deans Lancelot Andrewes, John Overall, James Montague, William Barlow, Giles Tomson and Thomas Ravis as well as John Rainolds (sometimes written as Reynolds), the president of Corpus Christi College, Oxford.
While the meeting was originally scheduled for November 1603, an outbreak of plague meant it was postponed until January and moved to Hampton Court Palace.
There were three meetings over a period of five days.
Nine bishops and seven deans attended the meetings, including John Whitfit, Richard Bancroft (1544-1610) and Lancelot Andrewes (1555-1626).
The bishops choose four moderate Puritans to attend the meetings - they were John Rainolds, Laurence Chaderton, Thomas Sparke and John Knewstubs.
The conference started on 14 January at the King’s Privy Chamber on the first floor of the palace. James met with the bishops to discuss some of the Puritan complaints detailed in the Millenary Petition, particularly the complaints about the Catholic terms Absolution and Confirmation. The King, after ending his talks with the bishops, claimed he was "well satisfied", and declared that "the manner might be changed and some things cleared". Private baptism, especially when administered by women, would prove to be a more intense argument between James and his bishops, but James eventually persuaded them that only ministers should administer baptisms.
The second day of the conference (16 January) was a joint meeting of James, the bishops and the Puritans - James started the meeting by rebuking the Puritans and immediately rejecting their requests for liturgical changes.
