A strong See also:Protestant, he returned to See also:England in 1553, but soon found it expedient to travel again to France. In 1554 he was a leading member of the See also:band of English Protestant exiles who were assembled at See also:Frankfort-on-the-See also:Main, and in the controversies which took See also:place between them concerning' the See also:form of service to be adopted, Whittingham strongly supported the Calvinistic views propounded by See also:John See also:Knox.
