Joseph Martin-Paschoud

Joseph Martin (14 October 1802; Nîmes – 1873)[1] commonly known as Joseph Martin-Paschoud, was a French liberal Protestant pastor. He served as a pastor in Luneray and Lyon, before serving as a pastor in Paris from 1837 until his death.[2]

As a supporter of Athanase Josué Coquerel, even after his theological transgressions, Martin-Paschoud came into conflict with the Union Protestante Libérale (Liberal Protestant Union) over their refusal to reinstate his position.[3]:96 In January 1866, the Union's presbyteral council attempted to force Martin-Paschoud into retirement, but they were unsuccessful when the presiding minister refused to authorise the action.[3]:97

Martin-Paschoud crossed religious lines throughout his career, attending the investiture ceremony of Zadoc Kahn as Chief Rabbi of Paris.[3]:84 He gave his support to the peace society founded by Catholic economist Frédéric Passy in 1867.[4]
