He resigned his pastorate into the hands of Abbé de Bretonvilliers and, when he regained sufficient strength, on the orders of his physicians he visited various spas of Europe in search of health, as well as making many pilgrimages. On his return to Paris, his old energy and enthusiasm reasserted themselves, especially in his warfare against Jansenism. A second stroke at Saint-Péray, in September 1653, left him completely paralysed.

The Interkerkelijke Omroep Nederland (IKON) was a Dutch public broadcaster which made radio and television broadcasts on behalf of seven church communities. IKON also offered other services such as Teletekst, the IKON newspaper, the IKON pastorate and Internet. In IKON's airtime, the Wilde Ganzen collected money for projects in the Third World. In May 2004, IKON adopted its final logo, so because of that, IKON was finally closed down on January 1, 2016, thus transferring its programs to EO.

Upon his graduation in 1905, he opted to seek ordination not in the Reformed Presbyterian Church in which he had been raised, but rather in the larger Presbyterian Church in the United States of America. In October, the Presbytery of Jersey City ordained Macartney to the pastorate of the First Presbyterian Church of Paterson, New Jersey, a struggling downtown congregation, into which Macartney's energy breathed new life. During this period, Macartney became an outspoken advocate of prohibition.

As a result of Glenwood's growth, under the leadership of Reverend Doctor E.L. Motter, a new wing was authorized to meet the church's needs in 1932. This wing was not completed until 1936, under the pastorate of Reverend Doctor O.L. Seward, as funds were hard to come by during the depression years. The new unit provided educational and recreational facilities, choir rooms, junior church chapel and church parlor. The following two decades brought vast sociological and economic changes.

In 1867, the Rev T.F. Williams commenced his long ministry at Ebenezer. The pastorate included Saron, Llandybie, until 1891 but thereafter Williams restricted his minitry to Ebenezer alone. At the start of Williams's ministry there were around fifty members but by the time of his retirement in 1907 the membership numbered 670. During these decades the population grew rapidly as Cross Inn, renamed Ammanford in the 1880s, became a major centre of the anthracite coal trade.

Macune began to study for a position in the ministry of the Methodist church and in June 1901 he was licensed to preach. Macune accepted his first Methodist pastorate at Copperas Cove, Texas, in 1902. He spent the rest of his working life as a preacher in a series of small Southwestern towns, including a brief missionary stint in Mexico. Macune retired to Fort Worth, Texas, where he died on November 3, 1940 at the age of 89.

When the Diocese of Davenport was established on May 8, 1881, Davis was the pastor of St. Mary's Church in Oxford and he became a priest of the new diocese. In 1885 he was transferred to St. Michael's in Holbrook and its mission in Parnell where Davis built a church and a school. At the time of his pastorate St. Michael's was the largest parish in the diocese. In 1889 he became rector of St. Margaret's Cathedral.

In Classis Hackensack, there were now far fewer pastors than there were churches needing their ministry. After John Calvin Voorhis was released from his pastorate in Monsey, the Monsey Church found that it could not expect regular pulpit supply. The church continued to meet during the summer months, relying on seminary students to fill the pulpit, but began to close during the winter. Peter Steen was one such student, who spent the summer of 1920 ministering in Monsey.Ordination.

In October 1877 he entered the Junior class of Atlanta University in Atlanta, Georgia. In May 1879 he left Atlanta University and in March 1880 he enrolled at Fisk University where he graduated with an A. B. in May. After graduation he took the pastorate at a small church in Columbia, South Carolina. Recognizing a need, he enrolled at Meharry Medical College in Nashville, Tennessee in October 1880, graduating valedictorian with a M.D. in March 1882.

His congregation thrived during much of his pastorate as he exercised considerable talents as a preacher, evangelist, leader and organizer. In 1950, Park Street Church hosted Billy Graham's (first mid-century transcontinental) evangelistic crusade, which was regarded as highly successful. On the strength of that event, both Graham and Ockenga then conducted an evangelistic tour of New England. Ockenga later assisted Graham, Nelson Bell and Carl F. H. Henry in organizing the evangelical periodical, Christianity Today.

In 1951 he was ordained a priest for the Society of the Divine Word in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. From 1952 through 1973 he served as Assistant Dean and Dean of Seminarians and rector of the Religious Community. From 1974 through 1982 he was Secretary of Studies for all USA Divine Word Seminaries and Rector of the Religious Community of Divine Word Seminary (in Epworth, Iowa). St. Anthony's parish in Lafayette, Louisiana was his first pastorate.

Her mother died on August 10, 1866, as the result of a fire aboard the steamboat "Bostona No. 3" in Maysville, Kentucky. She attended school in Kentucky including Maysville College and the Sayre Institute (Sayre School) where she studied literature, music, art, and language skills. In 1877 she moved with her family to Salem, Illinois, to her father's next pastorate. It was there that she met Frederick Sidney Dewey; they were married on September 25, 1877.

He served as moderator of the Presbyterian General Assembly in 1854 and was also on the board of directors for the Princeton seminary, which now holds his papers. During his long and eminent pastorate, he was repeatedly called to other fields of labor,—notably in May 1853, to the chair of Pastoral Theology in Princeton Seminary. He published many volumes and pamphlets, on theological subjects. The degree of D.D. was conferred on him by Marshall College.

After his graduation from Wake Forest, he entered Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. Charles, during his time here, served as pastor of Switzer Baptist Church, in Forks of Elkhorn, Kentucky. In 1917, in the midst of his seminary work, and his pastorate, the United States entered into the Great War. World War I raged across the European Continent and in the United States, Charles Stevens decided to suspend his graduate work and join the Army.

During his tenure at LSU, he spent a summer in Guatemala to better serve his Hispanic students. Borders served at LSU until 1964, except for a two-year period (1957–1959) when he served as pastor of Holy Family Church in Port Allen, Louisiana. The assignment was his first pastorate, and he there demonstrated his concern for racial equality by ending segregation at the church. He burned the ropes that sectioned off the African American parishioners, who gradually integrated throughout the church.

Collected Writings of John Murray, Vol. 1. John Murray, Banner of Truth, (2015), pg.44 During R. T. Kendall's pastorate, he led the church to adopt many emphases and practices of the Charismatic movement, despite the concerns of other church officers that these were contrary to the church's accepted reformed teachings. The following pastor, Greg Haslam, was previously the pastor of Winchester Family Church, a Newfrontiers church, and continued this trend, introducing many of Newfrontiers' core values to the church.

"He was ordained to the ministry and became pastor of a small Church in Whitevale, Ontario at a salary of four hundred dollars a year. He was instrumental in forming three new churches in the district. "Rev. Mr. Moore [then] devoted a year to evangelistic work after which he assumed a pastorate in Tillsonburg and from 1880 onward labored there and in the nearby village of Brownsville. After a year or two in the village of Scotland he came to Waterford.

Howard Street in San Francisco was named for William D. M. Howard who is often called "the most public spirited man in early San Francisco". He was one of the first "councilmen" and gave generously to many civic causes. Howard donated the land for Howard Presbyterian church in San Francisco,Samuel Hopkins Willey, 1900, The History of the First Pastorate of the Howard Presbyterian Church, San Francisco and his widow the land for the Episcopal Church of St. Matthew in San Mateo.

Robert was in his early twenties at the time of this death. Significant accomplishments for Redmond beyond the church include leading the campaign to save Burton Elementary School for students from variety of colors, classes, and countries. The elementary school is now widely recognized for its standards and its students. The second feat that we should attribute to Rev. Redmond and the congregation during his pastorate was the establishment of the 4 C's (the Concerned Citizens of the Cass Corridor).

In 1932, at the age of 94, he celebrated the 70th anniversary of his induction to the pastorate by preaching in his church. Mr. Hastings was a traveller in many lands. He returned from Australia via Paraguay and wrote letters which helped to prevent the exodus of shearers and other labourers from Australia. He visited so many countries on his bicycle that he received the sobriquet of "the cycling parson", a name he employed in one of his many books.

In that year he decided to relinquish his professorship, and take up the pastorate at the Park Avenue Church in Plainfield, New Jersey. On leaving Lewisburg, Lowry accepted the honorary position of chancellor of the university. Also in 1875 he provided the music to Fanny Crosby's hymn "All the Way My Savior Leads Me", one of many co- operations with the prolific Crosby.Sankey, No. 522 In 1876 he wrote and composed another of his best-known works: "Nothing But the Blood of Jesus".

His pastorate was a stormy one: an outspoken group of parishioners opposed his ordination; in 1751, he was dismissed after charges against his moral character which, according to one biography, "Were supported by proof and also by his own confession." He continued to preach for two more years, filling vacant pulpits, while he studied medicine and taught school. In 1752, he married Abigail Burr of Fairfield, Connecticut, however, she died the following year. In 1757, he was married again to Mary Osborne.

Di Gangi authored many books dealing with the Christian faith, including A Golden Treasury of Puritan Devotion: Selections from the Writings of Thirteen Puritan Divines, Twelve Prophetic Voices, The Book of Joel: A Study Manual, and The Spirit of Christ. A chapter in Tenth Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia: 175 Years of Thinking and Acting Biblically by Philip Ryken deals with Di Gangi's pastorate of that church, where he was preceded by Donald Grey Barnhouse and succeeded by James Montgomery Boice.

Lyseng Church () is a church in Aarhus, Denmark. The church is situated in the Højbjerg neighborhood in on Bushøjvej by Ring 2 in the southern suburbs of Aarhus. Lyseng Church is a part of the Church of Denmark, the Danish state church, and is a shared secondary church to Holme Parish and Skåde Parish, officially under Holme pastorate along with Holme Church.

The Ritter- und Landschaft then rendered homage to George William as their duke. On 15 September 1702 George William confirmed the existing constitution, laws and legislative bodies of Saxe-Lauenburg.Johann Friedrich Burmester, Beiträge zur Kirchengeschichte der Herzogthums Lauenburg, Ratzeburg: author's edition, 1832, p. 66. On 17 May 1705 the Lutheran superintendency was moved from Lauenburg to Ratzeburg and combined with the pastorate of St. Peter's Church.Johann Friedrich Burmester, Beiträge zur Kirchengeschichte der Herzogthums Lauenburg, Ratzeburg: author's edition, 1832, p. 96.

No ISBN. During the vacancy of the pastorate (1696–1703), on 13 May 1699 representatives of the Himmelpforten parish handed in an expertise by the judges Johann Schröder (Großenwörden), Erich Schlichting (Breitenwisch), Master Carpenter Erich Dede and Master Mason Hinrich Vörder, describing the former abbey church as being well preserved. According to their report the abbey's external dimensions measured Bremian feet 141 () in length and Br. ft 46 () in width, whereas its vault ceiling reached a height of Br. ft 44 ().

The 1901 discovery of crude oil transformed Tulsa into a boomtown -- the "Oil Capital of the World" -- as well as transforming the Kerrs' original missionary vocation to Indians and Freedmen into the pastorate of an all-white church. Tulsa rapidly grew from a population of 600 to 72,000 by 1921: 60,000 whites and 12,000 Blacks. Tulsa's Black district was named "Greenwood". Early on, Kerr made friends with the Black pastors in Greenwood, who were publicly disdained by Tulsa's other prominent white clergy.

He was gifted with winning personal characteristics, which secured for him a devoted following. His pleasant manners and genial spirit, his native humor and genuine wit, his extensive reading and wide knowledge and most retentive memory, made conversations with him agreeable and profitable. Russell's fervor stretched beyond the limits of his own pastorate. He was present, in 1843, at the formation of the Evangelical Alliance, with whose aim and operations he remained in warm and active sympathy to the last.

The rectory was designed to match the church, and was built for $8,000. Renovations were done to the church building in 1908 under Msgr. Schulte. The work included sixteen buttresses to strengthen the building, a new cross and spire were built, a basement was dug below the church, and the church interior was redecorated. A local builder and parishioner J.J. Hotz did the buttressing. The church was once again redecorated for the parish centennial in 1941 during the pastorate of Msgr.

Published histories of Live Oak Methodist Church state that the first church was built not more than a quarter-mile from the present site prior to the Civil War. It was destroyed by Union soldiers. The church history states that W.C. Newsom, Huff Jones, George Nesom, J.B. Easterly and James Chandler erected a new building shortly after the Civil War fire. In 1893, under the pastorate of J.P. Haney of the Mississippi Conference, the frame church that was used until 1950 was constructed.

Johnson resumed his pastorate among the exiled separatists, with Henry Ainsworth as doctor (teacher). In 1598 he was concerned in a Latin version (for transmission to continental and Scottish universities) of the Trve Confession. Dissensions arose in the community, George resuming his attacks on Thomasine's taste in dress. Ainsworth tried to prevent a breach, and the Johnson's father John came from London to reconcile his sons, but in the winter of 1598–9, Francis excommunicated both his brother and father.

Rev Howard Ashley at Square Dance In 1991, during Pastor Ashley's ministry, the facade on the front of the church was rebuilt. This helped the church stand out from the rest of the buildings around it on Bay Ridge Parkway. Pastor Ashley resigned in 1994 to take a pastorate on the west coast. After Pastor Ashley's resignation, Bay Ridge United Church was served by three interim pastors. The Reverend Susan Huizenga served from September 1994 and left in May 1995 to be married.

He preached during the visitations of Bishop John Williams, and was collated to the prebend of St. Botolph's at Lincoln on 10 September 1635. In 1639 he declined the offer of the pastorate of the English congregation at Arnhem, the Netherlands. In the same year orders were sent him from the ecclesiastical court to certify quarterly, or as often as required, of his conformity to the common prayer. Reyner left Lincoln during the royalist occupation of the First English Civil War.

McKinney graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1832, where he received a degree in Theology, and also studied theology at the Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary. Licensed in 1832, he preached at scattered congregations before his ordination in 1835 and installation as the pastor of the Elkhorn Reformed Presbyterian Church in Oakdale, Illinois. During this pastorate, which concluded with his resignation in 1840,Glasgow, William M. A History of the Reformed Presbyterian Church in America. Baltimore: Hill and Harvey, 1888, 605.

The Joneses are direct descendants of Mayflower passengers William Bradford, John Alden, and Priscilla Mullins. The Smith relations arrived in North America a few years later as the Great Migration from England continued. With his father's pastorate changing often, by age ten young Harry had lived in Michigan, Wisconsin, Maine, and New York. His family finally settled in the seaside town of Bristol, Rhode Island where he completed his childhood as the only child of the town's only Baptist minister.

Kolasinski initially refused to leave his post, appealing his suspension to the bishop. However, pressure was brought to bear, and Kolasinski eventually left Detroit for a pastorate in the Dakota Territory. Kolasinski's followers, however, remained estranged from the other St. Albertus congregants, and established their own church school. When John Samuel Foley became Bishop of Detroit in 1888, Kolasinski returned to the city and established the Parish of the Sweetest Heart of Mary outside the jurisdiction of the Roman Catholic Diocese.

Its "sister college" is Ridley Hall, Cambridge, which opened in 1881. Two evangelical organisations working among Oxford students were founded in the late nineteenth century; the Oxford Inter-Collegiate Christian Union in 1879 and the Oxford Pastorate in 1893. Wycliffe had close links with both from their inception. Indeed, of Wycliffe's first 100 students, 83 were Oxford graduates; a link that was bolstered by the second principal, Chavasse, who was incumbent of St Peter-le-Bailey, Oxford prior to leading the hall.

Philip Frederick Mayer (1 April 1781, in New York City - 16 April 1858, in Philadelphia) was a United States Lutheran clergyman. He was graduated at Columbia in 1799, studied theology in New York, was licensed to preach, 1 September 1802, and ordained to the Lutheran ministry in the following year. In 1803 he became pastor at Athens, New York. In 1806 he accepted the pastorate of St. John's English Lutheran Church in Philadelphia, the first exclusively English Lutheran congregation in the United States.

Readington Reformed Church in 1894 Two church buildings were constructed during the pastorate of Reverend John Van Liew, who served over forty years, from 1828 until his death in 1869. The first was a new church dedicated on December 22, 1833, which burned down on March 22, 1864. The second was the construction of the current building, dedicated on July 20, 1865. The tall church steeple was blown over by a cyclone on January 3, 1913 and replaced by shorter version.

Evangelism, raps (devotionals, or informal Q&A; meetings, usually following sermons, but also held at various times throughout the week, most notably during lunch hour), and informal Bible study are also considered important acts of worship. The organization has a 10-point Doctrinal Statement available on its website. The organization limits the pastorate and/or homiletic role to men due to a literal interpretation of I Tim. 2:12, but allows women to lead in just about any other capacity.

In 1869, Hamilton came under scrutiny for teaching the doctrine of "a second probation after death" (stating one has a second, posthumous chance of salvation). He was charged with heresy and forced to leave his pastorate and resign from his ordination in the Presbyterian church. Most of his parishioners joined him in forming the First Independent Presbyterian Church, later to become the Independent Church of Oakland. In 1879 the church joined the American Unitarian Association and became the First Unitarian Church of Oakland.

In 1845 he moved to take charge of the churches of Hermon and Tabor, near Llandeilo. In 1850 he settled as pastor of Libanus Church, Morriston, near Swansea, and as "Jones Treforris" became known throughout Wales for his eloquence. In September 1858 Jones accepted the pastorate of the nonconformist congregation at Albany Chapel, Frederick Street, in north-west London. Succeeding there, he moved in 1861 to a larger church, Bedford Chapel near Oakley Square, where he ministered to December 1869.

There Robert Browning was a seat-holder, and stated that Jones attracted listeners by the "outpour of impetuous eloquence" and his "liberal humanity". In failing health, Jones returned to Wales, and in January 1870 took on the new Congregational church at Walter's Road, Swansea. He was chairman of the Congregational Union of England and Wales in 1871–2. For his health he held the pastorate of the Collins Street Independent Church, Melbourne, from May 1877 to March 1880 to great acclaim.

Circa 1896 photograph of the St. Mary's School building CCHS has roots in St. Mary's School, built at a cost of $26,000 by Holy Trinity Parish in 1884 during the pastorate of Michael Weldon. The building was located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Locust and Center Streets in Bloomington, Illinois. Initially only a grade school, the building was altered in 1886 to add high school classes. Two graduates in 1898 composed the high school's first graduating class.

The fourth senior pastor, the Rev. Dr. James Waddel Alexander, served two terms, from 1844 to 1849, and 1851 to 1859. During his pastorate, the church relocated from Duane Street to Nineteenth Street, where it installed a pipe organ and pioneered congregational hymn singing (a change from the formal quartets typical at other Presbyterian churches of the period). Under his leadership, the church became a leader in establishing mission chapels and Sunday schools. In 1867, a young Irish preacher, the Rev.

After graduating, he was for about two years Principal of the Hartford Grammar School, from which he was called to be Tutor in Yale College, which office he held from 1817 to 1822. During this time he studied theology and was licensed to preach the gospel. In the year 1822, he was ordained as pastor of the Congregational Church in Watertown, Connecticut, where he remained about two years, being then compelled to resign his pastorate on account of ill-health.

He was, with George Taplin, largely instrumental in establishing the Point Mcleay Mission. Cox was an authority on art and frequently called upon to act as judge at art exhibitions conducted by schools and amateur art groups, but reluctantly had to relinquish this pleasant duty when faced with failing eyesight. He resigned his pastorate on 21 November 1897 and died eight years later, and was succeeded by Rev. S. Lenton, who served the Hindmarsh Square Church from 1898 to 1904.

These feature include the ornate gold-plated tabernacle, which was designed and fabricated by craftsmen at the special effects department of MGM Studios. Also, carpenters from the Twentieth Century Fox woodshop built the pews located in the nave of the church during a strike that left the woodshop idle. The decorative base of the church's pulpit came from the collection of William Randolph Hearst. During the pastorate of Bishop Ward, the parish added a mosaic wall decoration behind the main altar.

In 1859 Wylie was president of the University Dialectic Society, and soon afterwards became a student at Regent's Park College, London, under Joseph Angus. In 1860 he was appointed Baptist minister of Ramsey, Huntingdonshire; and in 1865 he was transferred to Accrington in Lancashire, a charge he had to give up after a breakdown. He went to Gourock; but when his health improved he accepted the pastorate of a church at Blackpool. After another year's work he had to give up preaching.

Tranbjerg Church is a church in Aarhus, Denmark, situated in the suburb Tranbjerg 9 kilometers south-west of Aarhus city center on the old country road between Aarhus and Horsens. Tranbjerg Church is from the 1100s, erected as a typical Danish Romanesque village church. Later additions in the 15th century added a Gothic tower and porch. Tranbjerg Church is the only church in Tranbjerg pastorate and Parish with 7.414 members of the Church of Denmark living in Tranbjerg Parish on 1 January 2016.

Holy Trinity Church Holy Trinity Catholic Church is a Roman Catholic church of the Archdiocese of Dubuque, located in Luxemburg, Iowa. The parish dates back to the 1850s when families living in the area requested a church from Diocesan officials. Construction on the current church building began in 1874 and was finished in 1875. The church later became part of the St. LaSalle Pastorate - which is a parish that covers the churches in Luxemburg, Balltown, Holy Cross, Rickardsville, and Sherrill, Iowa.

The heavy work load and constant traveling eventually took its toll on Alleman's health. Toward the end of his time in Rock Island he was described as "a very peculiar man" who "lived a very secluded life and lived much to himself," which was not in character with the gregarious man of his younger days. He was assigned to the pastorate in Collinsville in 1862, in the Diocese of Alton. Here he would be close to better healthcare facilities in St. Louis.

In 1900 Bauman began a pastorate at the First Brethren Church of Philadelphia, a place where his interest in foreign missions and eschatology would bloom. There he met brothers Jacob C. and H.C. Cassel who both had passions for mission work. He became a charter member of the Foreign Missionary Society of the Brethren Church in 1900, in 1904 became a member of its board of trustees, and in 1906 became the board's secretary. Bauman served in the last position until 1945.

Talmage began preaching in Belleville, New Jersey once he graduated in 1856. He spent two years at a pastorate in Syracuse, New York before moving in 1862 to Philadelphia to become the pastor for the Second Reformed Dutch Church. (In 1867 the denomination changed its name to the Reformed Church in America.) It was here that Talmage began to establish a reputation as a gifted orator and preacher. He also served as a chaplain for the Union Army during the American Civil War.

Beschter's predecessor, Herman J. Stoecker, was not proficient in English, to the consternation of the Irish congregants. Stoecker had succeeded Francis Fitzsimons, an Irishman who could not speak German, which ruffled the German majority of parishioners. Beschter's proficiency in English as well as his native German made him a satisfactory solution to the dispute. During his pastorate, the church established a mission to Lebanon, Pennsylvania, in 1810, as it had done in other locations throughout the state in the past.

Beschter celebrated the laying of the cornerstone of the mission church, named St. Mary of the Assumption, on July 23 of that year. Presiding over the ceremony, he preached in both English and German to a congregation of Catholics and Protestants, which included one Moravian, three Lutheran and three Reformed pastors. Beschter was described as having garnered the support and attachment of the congregation as pastor. Upon the end of his pastorate in 1812, he was replaced by another Irishman, Michael J. Byrne.

He was ordained deacon in 1957 and priest in 1958. Green was an assistant curate of Holy Trinity, Eastbourne (1957–60), a tutor at the London College of Divinity (1960–69), Principal of St John's College, Nottingham (1969–75) and Rector of St Aldate's Church, Oxford and chaplain of the Oxford Pastorate (1975–86). He had additionally been an honorary canon of Coventry Cathedral from 1970 to 1978. He then moved to Canada where he was Professor of Evangelism at Regent College, Vancouver from 1987 to 1992.

When his mother was hospitalized, Hargis promised to devote himself to God if she was spared from death. She recovered and, at age 17, Hargis was ordained in the Disciples of Christ denomination, even before his completing Bible college. After a few years, he left his pastorate for a ministry of radio preaching.Michael Carlson, "Billy James Hargis. Rightwing preacher laid low by sexual scandal", The Guardian, December 10, 2004. In 1943, Hargis entered Ozark Bible College in Bentonville, Arkansas, and studied there for one year.

The greatest part of his career, from 1827 to 1870, he was last minister of the Reformed Stephanuskerk. He was also a member of the provincial church government, president of the classical association of Groningen and member of the college of supervision of the ecclesiastical administration of Reformed Church in the Groningen Province. In 1853 he was chairman of the national synod of the Reformed Church. Boeles published ten articles for his pastorate about various affairs, including the fields of religion, religious education, church polity and history.

Clay was ordained Deacon by Bishop Arthur J. Moore (1952) and Elder by Bishop Marvin A. Franklin (1954). Rev. Lee's first pastorate was the Unity Charge in the Mississippi Annual Conference of the Methodist Church, which he began serving in 1949. Subsequently, Rev.

Rev.

He was the first African American ordained in the United States. On March 28, 1788, Haynes left his pastorate at Torrington to accept a call at the West Parish Church of Rutland, Vermont (now West Rutland's United Church of Christ), where he led the mostly white congregation for 30 years. Haynes continued to write and speak about slavery. His contemporary white republican and abolitionist thinkers did see slavery as a liability to the new country, but most argued for eventual slave expatriation to Africa.

Born at Newark, New Jersey, in 1834 Jacobus graduated from Princeton College and four years later from Princeton Seminary. He received the degree of D.D. from Jefferson College (now Washington & Jefferson College) (1852) and LL. D. from Princeton in 1867. In 1839, after a year of teaching Hebrew at Princeton Seminary, Jacobus accepted the pastorate of the First Presbyterian Church in Brooklyn, New York. After a serving nearly twelve years, his health failed, and he made a tour through Europe, Egypt, and the Holy Land.

Having visited Liverpool in the summer of 1810, Spencer on 26 September accepted an offer of the pastorate of Newington chapel there. He entered on his duties in February 1811, and on 27 June was ordained in the chapel in Byrom Street. At first he preached from 65 to 75 minutes; later, under medical advice, he limited his discourses to three-quarters of an hour. A new chapel, with accommodation for 2,000 people, was built for him, with the foundation-stone laid on 15 April.

When Chapman unexpectedly returned to the pastorate in 1896, Sunday struck out on his own, beginning with meetings in tiny Garner, Iowa. For the next twelve years Sunday preached in approximately seventy communities, most of them in Iowa and Illinois. Sunday referred to these towns as the "kerosene circuit" because, unlike Chicago, most were not yet electrified. Towns often booked Sunday meetings informally, sometimes by sending a delegation to hear him preach and then telegraphing him while he was holding services somewhere else.Dorsett, 58–59, 62–63.

After graduating from ENC in 1965, Nielson enrolled in ENC's Master of Arts program, majoring again in Religion. While still a student at Eastern Nazarene College, Nielson accepted a student pastorate at the Church of the Nazarene at Wells River, Vermont, that concluded in 1966. From 1966 to 1967, Nielson was the pastor of the American Congregation of the Church of the Nazarene in Frankfurt, West Germany. while he was pastor of the American congregation in Frankfurt, he was also music director of the German congregation.

At his home in Simleu it was decided who would be part of the delegation that was to take the Memorandum of the Romanians to Vienna in 1892. Also in the time of Barboloviciu's pastorate, in 1893, in the new church in Simleu was painted and placed iconostasis. Alimpiu Barboloviciu was the longest-serving in the position of foreign vicar of Salaj (1873–1913); he was followed by Alexandru Ghetie (1914–1922). He held a continuous correspondence with George Bariț and other personalities of the time.

James Pullman at St. Lawrence University and Canton Theological School and was well known in the denomination and considered to be a fine scholar and able preacher as well as a sympathetic minister. He was also the brother-in-law of George's younger sister, Emma Pullman Fluhrer. Rev. Fluhrer would begin his pastorate when the church was dedicated. In August the lathing and plastering was being pushed ahead, using the newly invented steel lath wire net that held plaster thoroughly, producing a firm and durable surface.

In early April 1539, Magdeburg died and Glatz was restored to the pastorate. That same month, Glatz wrote a letter to Stephan Roth (with whom matriculated at Wittenberg in 1523). Roth was the Zwickau city clerk and school inspector, though his influence extended far beyond his titles.“Roth, Stephan” in ADB 53:564-67. Magdeburg had married Roth’s sister Magdalene in 1532, so Roth had an interest in the well-being of the late pastor’s widow.Clemen, “Briefe von Liborius und Hiob Magdeburg und von Kaspar Glatz” 52.

He then accepted the pastorate of the Congregational church at Milton, Massachusetts. He remained there until 1851, when, his views having become unitarian, he abandoned the ministry, returned to Philadelphia, and entered into practice as a consulting geologist. He made extensive and important researches in the coal, oil, and iron fields of the United States and Canada and became State geologist of Pennsylvania in 1874. From 1872 to 1878 he served as professor of geology at the University of Pennsylvania; after 1886 he was emeritus professor.

After the father's death, attendance had fallen, and Thomas Spurgeon was overwhelmed by the number of agencies and institutions his father had created as satellites of church. The co-pastorate was dissolved in 1908 when Thomas Spurgeon resigned for reasons of health, and Brown accepted the role of sole pastor. By 1910 Brown himself was himself ill, and he resigned at the end of the year, though he continued to preach occasionally even after the American, A. C. Dixon, had been called as pastor.Murray, 259-73.

Despite being confined to a pastorate in an out-of-the-way village, which he never left, Löhe nevertheless exhibited a keen interest in missionary work. He was particularly concerned about the condition of German immigrants to North America. He solicited funds through a variety of sources to help bolster the spiritual state of the immigrant population beginning in 1841. In 1843, responding to F.C.D. Wyneken's Die Noth der deutschen Lutheraner in Nordamerika (English: The Distress of the German Lutherans in North America), Löhe and Rev.

Truett accepted the position of pastor of the First Baptist Church in Dallas in September 1897, a position he would hold until his death. During his 47-year pastorate, membership increased from 715 to 7,804; a total of 19,531 new members were received, and total contributions were $6,027,741.52. The church was rebuilt three times during his tenure there to accommodate the expanding congregation. His preaching made him nationally famous, as he criss-cross the nation leading revivals, participating in religious organizations, and raising funds for churches.

In October 1900, Ward was moved to the 47th Street Methodist Episcopal Church, another pastorate in the Chicago stockyards district with a congregation composed largely of working-class immigrants from Eastern Europe. Ward was increasingly radicalized by contact with the impoverished workers who attended his church. Ward himself joined the fledgling Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen of North America in a show of solidarity with his parishioners. He also joined the Civic Club of Chicago, where he became the chairman of its Committee on Labor Conditions.

The -foot-high Byzantine cross was designed and carved by Richard Lippich of Bowmansville, New York, constructed by E. M. Hager & Sons Co., of Buffalo, New York, and dedicated on Sunday, June 22, 1975. The Tiffany chandelier was then moved to the Historical Hall, where it remained until being sold in 2007 to a private party somewhere in Texas. This move required some lighting modifications in the chancel, so two banks of lights was added above and below the chancel carvings. During the pastorate of Rev.

His father came from Hillsboro, Ohio, to the pastorate of the Presbyterian church in Peoria, and on the outbreak of the American Civil War volunteered for service as a chaplain in the Union Army. He died in 1862 of one of the fevers prevalent in the camps. After his death, his widow, then a very young woman with a son one year old, was faced with serious financial problems. Elizabeth Grier was a native of Peoria, from a large family with partial German ancestry.

The parsonage came later, in 1798, when The Rev. Friedrich Quitman, a man reported to be of high regard within American Lutheranism of the time, was hired as pastor. His son John, later to serve as a general in the Mexican–American War and as governor of Mississippi, was born in the house that year. Later in Quitman's pastorate, in the early 1820s, the congregation hired a local builder named Stephen McCarty to do $3,000 ($ in contemporary dollars) worth of renovations to the church.

In 1997, Moss moved to Augusta, Georgia, to take up the pastorate at Tabernacle Baptist Church, founded in 1885 as Beulah Baptist Church. During the Civil Rights Movement the church served as a local base for that movement. At the time Moss took over the church, it had 125 members, growing to 2,100 members by the time he left it in 2006, reportedly mostly through the inclusion of formerly unchurched young people. During his tenure, the church also undertook a major renovation of their historic building.

Rome sent back a protest, but, since the bishops remained silent, and since Joseph Vitus Burg, Bishop of Mainz, even defended the articles, Lennig left for Bonn, and attended the lectures of Johann Michael Sailer, Windischmann, and Klee. In June 1832, he accepted the pastorate of Gaulsheim, now part of Bingen am Rhein, declining to take the chair of theology and exegesis at Mainz. In 1839 he was made pastor at Seligenstadt. Petrus Leopold Kaiser, Bishop of Mainz, in 1845 promoted him to the cathedral chapter.

When the Diocese of Altoona was established in 1901, St. John's Church became the pro-cathedral. It was during the pastorate of the Reverend Morgan Sheedy that the present cathedral was begun. St. John's Pro- Cathedral was torn down to make room for the new building, and a temporary hall was built on Twelfth Avenue to serve as a place of worship. Philadelphia architect George I. Lovatt, Sr., who also designed the Cathedral of St. Patrick in Harrisburg, was chosen to design the new cathedral.

Baptist Hymn Writers and Their Hymns, by Henry S. Burrage, D.D., p 313 Then, he was called to be the pastor of First Baptist Church, Baltimore, Maryland; he would serve there seventeen years. Other Baltimore Baptist congregations formed out of the growing membership of the church during his pastorate, including Seventh Baptist Church.History of Baptist Churches in Maryland, by George F. Adams, p. 97 Hill then was called to be the pastor of First Baptist in Washington, D.C., where he served from 1850 to 1861.

He was named pastor of Holy Ghost parish in Dubuque, and served from 2005 to 2007. Holy Ghost was clustered with Sacred Heart and Holy Trinity parishes to form the Holy Spirit Pastorate, which he served as pastor from 2007 to 2011. Zinkula served as the Episcopal Vicar for the Cedar Rapids region of the archdiocese from 2012 to 2014, and as the rector of St. Pius X Seminary in Dubuque from 2014 to 2017. Zinkula was named a Monsignor by Pope Benedict XVI in 2012.

In 1970, the Rev. Ed Johnson, formerly an assistant pastor at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church, was called to First Presbyterian Hattiesburg. He brought with him from his time at Coral Ridge under the tutelage of D. James Kennedy the Evangelism Explosion program. Johnson's pastorate also saw the planting of Woodland Presbyterian Church and the departure of the congregation, and many of its plants, to the new Presbyterian Church in America in response to the increasing theological liberalism of the Presbyterian Church in the United States.

Lewis, speaking at the ceremony of laying the first stone of the new Metropolitan Tabernacle for the Rev. C. H. Spurgeon, which took place on Tuesday 16 August 1859, said the following. > I feel constrained to address my brethren in the ministry also to hear the > appeal which God in his providence makes to them, to be faithful, > uncompromising, simple, and bold in their declaration of gospel > truths.Spurgeon (1860) > > —William Garrett Lewis In January 1881, Lewis was appointed to the pastorate of Dagnall Street Baptist Church.

About this time he went for a year to a school kept by his own minister, and then to a college at Newport, Monmouthshire, kept by Dr. Jenkin Lewis. At the end of two years his tutor recommended him to Lady Barham as a suitable person to undertake the pastorate of two small churches in Gower. After there successfully for two years he was ordained, 21 July 1824. In August 1828 Griffiths moved to Swansea to undertake a Welsh translation of Matthew Henry's Commentary.

His first pastorate was at Sparrow Hill, Loughborough, where he stayed from 1845 to Christmas 1846. On 7 March 1847 he became minister of the United Presbyterian and Baptist Church at Devizes, Wiltshire, where his congregation gradually increased, and where he on 9 April 1852 opened a new chapel. In May 1858 he was elected co-pastor with Dr Edward Steane of Denmark Place Chapel, Camberwell, Surrey; and in May 1861, on the retirement of Steane, received the full charge. He remained at Camberwell till his death.

Until the early 19th century, the parish church remained the only place of worship in the village. Then, in the 1820s, the Baptists erected a small chapel on Pares Hill and a society of Wesleyan Methodists opened a chapel on North Street (extended 1879). From its foundation in 1823 until 1855, Whitwick Baptist Church remained a branch of the Hugglescote Church. In 1855, both the Whitwick and Coalville Baptist churches separated from Hugglescote and both churches were held under the pastorate of the Revd John Cholerton.

Father Mehault became pastor in May 1870. During his pastorate, a new rectory was built, a new bell was put in the church, and many improvements were made to the church. He made periodic visits to his home in France and, while there, obtained vestments, ornaments, sacred vessels, statues and other religious ornaments for Saint Mary Magdalen's church. The parish church became a place of beauty, and ceremonies of the church were conducted with brilliance and solemnity in accord with their high purpose of glorifying Almighty God.

William Spurrell, in his History of Carmarthen, erroneously describes it as the first book printed there. On leaving college, Jones seems to have become co-pastor with James Lewis of the congregation at Pantycreuddin, Llandyssul, Cardiganshire. His views soon inclined to Arminianism, and although his following was large, the majority of the congregation opposed his teaching. He therefore resigned his co-pastorate, and founded in 1726 Llwynrhydowen, the first Arminian church in the principality, and the first church established in the interests of free religious thought.

Woodie graduated from the DeWitt Clinton High School in the West Bronx in New York City in 1953 and from Paine College in Augusta, Georgia in 1958. He earned an S.T.B. (Bachelor of Sacred Theology) from Boston University School of Theology in 1961. While attending BU he served a pastorate in Worcester, Massachusetts. He then became a Probationary Member of the Detroit Annual Conference and was appointed the Associate Pastor of the East Grand Boulevard Methodist Church in Detroit, and in 1963 became the Pastor.

He was at once ordained, and called to the pastorate of the Baptist church at Beaufort. His reputation as a preacher soon became national and his services were widely sought in promoting religious revivals. In preaching, Fuller closely copied the style of French preacher James Saurin. During his residence in Beaufort, he was engaged in two memorable controversies — one with Bishop England of Charleston, on the claims of the Roman Catholic Church, and the other with President Wayland, of Brown University, on the subject of slavery.

In 1858, he was the principal celebrant at the solemn high Mass dedicating Immaculate Conception Church in Salem, Massachusetts. Ordained for less than a decade, the 33-year-old O'Beirne had charge of the Catholics in Dedham, Norwood, Randolph, Holliston, Walpole, and Needham, as well as Roxbury. Prior to his pastorate at St. Joseph's, O'Beirne had charge of the parish and mission in Quincy, Massachusetts, in West Quincy, St. Mary's 1843–45. While there, he purchased the land for what would become St. Mary's Church in Randolph.

He was ordained, and installed as pastor of that Church, June 6, 1832, and for thirty three years he continued to minister to the same people. The death of his wife, and his own impaired health and advancing years, led him to resign his pastorate on May 4, 1864, and immediately after his resignation he removed to Andover, Massachusetts, to reside with his daughter, the wife of Professor Egbert C. Smyth, of the Andover Theological Seminary. He died in Andover on October 22, 1865, aged 70 years.

In the AINC the spouse of every church leader is co-leader and the two are ordained together. The administrative and spiritual line begins with the church elder in every local church, a pastor in charge of a pastorate, a senior minister in charge of a centre, a chief minister in charge of a region or division, a moderator or missionary bishop in charge of a central regional office or province, a national bishop in charge of a country and the archbishop as the spiritual head.

After preaching in Petersburg, Virginia, and New Bern, North Carolina,History of the Presbyterian Church in New Bern NC, With a Resume of Early Ecclesiastical Affairs in Eastern North Carolina, by Rev. L. C. Yass, 1886. he became in 1823 the assistant of Rev. Dr. Balch, of Georgetown, District of Columbia, and in 1825 accepted a call to the pastorate of Second Presbyterian Church, Washington, D.C., where Presidents John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson, as well as Vice President John C. Calhoun, worshipped in the 1820s.

He meanwhile contributed to the religious press, and was the originator and for four years one of the editors, of Meliora, a quarterly periodical of social science. In 1861 he was created Ph.D. of the University of Göttingen. In 1861 Steel was appointed to the pastorate of the Macquarie Street church, Sydney, where he arrived in June 1862. Subsequently he took a leading part in promoting the union of the Presbyterian churches of New South Wales, and was elected Moderator of the third General Assembly in 1867.

After a considerable legal tussle between Loessel's lawyers Way and Bundey, and Stow, Q.C. for the defendants, the verdict came for the defendants, awarding nominal damages of £70 to Loessel. In July 1867, having lost the pastorate of the Light Square Church, Loessel took a lease on the old Ebenezer Place Baptist chapel, with the intention of attracting his own congregation. Later that year he was a teacher at Georg Heinrich (or George Henry) Reinhard's German school at Lobethal. He still owned the property at Woodside.

His pietistic movement won considerable way among the Catholic laity, and even attracted some fifty or sixty priests. The death of Gall and other powerful friends, however, exposed him to bitter enmity and persecution from about 1812, and he had to answer endless accusations in the consistorial courts. His enemies followed him when he returned to Bavaria, but in 1817 the Prussian government appointed him to a professorship at Düsseldorf, and in 1819 gave him the pastorate at Sayn near Neuwied. He died in 1825.

Muste remained as pastor of the Fort Washington Collegiate Church on Washington Heights until 1914, when he became increasingly uncomfortable with the Reformed Church and left it. Thereafter, he became an independent Congregationalist minister and accepted a pastorate at the Central Congregational Church of Newtonville, Massachusetts in February 1915. A committed pacifist, Muste joined the Fellowship of Reconciliation shortly after its foundation in 1916. He participated in a peace demonstration late in the summer of 1916, with US entry into the First World War looming and some parishioners withdrawing from his congregation.

In Spring 2008, Grand Rapids Theological Seminary dedicated a "Dobson Study Center" in its classroom building to honor Dobson's long pastorate and television ministry in Grand Rapids. In January 2009, Dobson was interviewed on Good Morning America because he had attempted to live a year as Jesus had, observing Sabbath and Jewish holidays and festivals. Dobson said that he had voted for Barack Obama on the grounds that Obama "was closer to Jesus's teachings." Some religious conservatives criticized Dobson for occasionally drinking beer while testifying about his Christian faith.

He travelled over a large extent of country during that period, preaching on temperance. While at Perth Burns edited the Christian Miscellany. In May 1835 he accepted a call to the pastorate of the general baptist congregation assembling in Ænon Chapel, New Church Street, Marylebone, and in June finally moved with his family to London. His congregation at first was small, but owing to his enthusiasm it increased so much that twice in the first twenty-five years of his ministry at Paddington it was found necessary to enlarge the building in which it worshipped.

The chapel was founded as a Congregational church, but during the pastorate of D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1939–68) the church left the Congregational Union and joined the Evangelical Fellowship of Congregational Churches (founded 1967) and the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches. Prominent among the past deacons at Westminster Chapel have been Sir Fred Catherwood (1925–2014; son-in-law to Lloyd-Jones) and MJ "Monty" Micklewright (1897–1994). The reformed theologian John Murray also delivered a notable lecture here titled "The Heavenly, Priestly Activity of Christ" in 1958.

He became the pastor of both Old St. Joseph's Church and Old St. Mary's Church, where he served for 16 years. During that time, he opened the first parochial school in the United States, and edited the first American catechism. His pastorate encompassed the American Revolutionary War, and though he did not expressly commit himself to either belligerent, he largely endorsed the American cause. Molyneux then spent several years in the Jesuits' Maryland missions, and was made vicar general for Southern Maryland by the Bishop of Baltimore, John Carroll.

McKerrow semi-retired from his church work in 1869 and resigned his pastorate in 1871, having moved to Bowdon, Cheshire, in 1870. Around this time, he was a member of the Manchester Education Aid Society and in 1870 he was elected to the Manchester school board as an "unsectarian" candidate. He was re-elected in 1873 and 1876. He also established a scholarship to enable board-school children to attend secondary schools, funding it with money given to him at a dinner celebrating his jubilee in the ministry.

Ordained in the Congregational church in 1785, Haynes pastored a church in Torrington, Connecticut for three years. In 1788, Haynes accepted a call to pastor the West Parish Church of Rutland, Vermont (now West Rutland's United Church of Christ), where he remained for the next 30 years. He then moved to a temporary pastorate at Manchester, Vermont, and finally to South Granville, New York, where he was pastor of South Granville Congregational Church. Haynes died in South Granville in 1833, and was buried at Lee-Oatman Cemetery in South Granville.

James Madison Pendleton was a Baptist pastor from Kentucky whose article An Old Landmark Re-Set, a treatise against pulpit affiliation with non-Baptist ministers, gave the movement its name. His Church Manual was also influential in perpetuating Landmark Baptist ecclesiology. Although Pendleton was the only native Southerner in the Landmark Triumvirate, he was in favor of emancipation and opposed secession. As a result, his influence among Southern Baptists declined precipitously in the days leading up to the American Civil War and he took a pastorate in Pennsylvania during the war.

He had previously married Susan M. Duryea, of New York, and on account of her feeble health spent with her a year in England and France. On September 19, 1833, he was ordained pastor of the Congregational Church in Medfield, Mass, but on the failure of his voice, after a pastorate of four years, removed to the milder climate of Philadelphia. In the beginning of 1841 he began editorial life as the conductor of the American National Preacher, which—with the omission of some years—he continued to edit until 1867, 19 years in all.

Clayton Congregational Church, Beulah Park, 1865 In November 1851 a breakaway group formed a separate church which met at Roberts's residence, "Maesbury House". Roberts, who was antipathetic to Stow, but later publicly reversed his opinion, may have led the breakaway in response to Stow's pastorate. They were still meeting at Maesbury House when their first pastor J. H. Barrow held a service there on 21 January 1854. An institute hall was hired for the first public meeting on 2 July 1854, and plans were made for a permanent chapel.

Louis Auguste Sabatier Louis Auguste Sabatier (; 22 October 1839 - 12 April 1901), French Protestant theologian, was born at Vallon-Pont-d'Arc, Ardèche and died in Strasbourg. He was educated at the Protestant theological faculty of Montauban as well as at the universities of Tübingen and Heidelberg. After holding the pastorate at Aubenas in Ardèche from 1864 to 1868, he was appointed professor of reformed dogmatics at the Protestant theological faculty of Strasbourg. His markedly French sympathies during the War of 1870 led to his expulsion from Strassburg in 1872.

Edmonds' pastorate spanned a difficult and turbulent time in the City of Birmingham. He was Chairman of the Alabama Commission on Inter-Racial Cooperation, a group dedicated to improving relations among the races, and took action to ensure a fair trial for the Scottsboro Boys.Carter, Dan T., Scottsboro: A Tragedy of the American South, (LSU Press, 1969) Notable pastorates of the church have included John N. Lukens (1948–1966), M. Scott McClure (1967–1996), and Conrad Sharps (2005-2014). The church called Dr. William J. Carl III, to serve as its seventh pastor.

The son of William Urwick by his wife, Elinor Eddowes, he had Thomas Urwick as great-uncle, and was born in Shrewsbury on 8 December 1791. He was educated at Worcester under Thomas Belsher, and in 1812 entered Hoxton Academy to study for the Congregational ministry under Robert Simpson. In 1815 Urwick was invited to the pastorate of the church at Sligo, and was ordained there on 19 June 1816. He undertook the converting Roman Catholics, took the lead in philanthropic movements, and acted as secretary of the famine committee in 1824–5.

Upon his graduation in 1860, he was ordained as a Lutheran pastor, and served pastorates in New York, Indiana, and his home state of Ohio; his last pastorate was at Saint Matthews English Lutheran Church in Brooklyn, New York, where he stayed seven years. In 1872, Funk resigned from the ministry and made an extensive tour through Europe, northern Africa, and Asia Minor. Funk was a prohibitionist. He founded the Voice in 1880, an organ of the Prohibition Party, and he was the Prohibition candidate for mayor of New York.

Rev. Engelsman had the longest pastorate at First Reformed Church up to that time. He preferred to preach in Dutch, but was able to preach in strongly accented English. This caused considerable tension during the World War I (his lawn was set on fire for being too 'Dutch'), when state policy called for English-only services (the Sioux County Board of Defense allowed the service to be repeated in Dutch after an English service). Rev. Engelsman took a group to Palestine in 1914, after which he presented lectures on his trip throughout the town.

After Dowie completed the program and returned to Australia, he was ordained in 1872 as pastor of a Congregational church at Alma, South Australia (near Hamley Bridge). Dowie received and accepted a call in 1873 to a pastorate at Manly, New South Wales, and at Newtown in 1875. The following year he married his cousin, Jane Dowie, on 26 May 1876. She was the daughter of his father's brother Alexander Dowie and his wife. They had three children: Gladstone (1877–1945), Jeanie (1879–1885), and Esther (1881–1902).

During his pastorate the style of worship became increasing Catholic, and after Orchard's resignation in 1932, he joined the Catholic Church. Notable is the fact that in 1917 Claud and Constance Coltman were ordained as assistant ministers, the latter being a member of the church before training at Mansfield College, Oxford and one of the first woman to be ordained in a mainstream English denomination. The next years were ones of decline. On 20 October 1940 a bomb fell on the chancel during a communion service, killing the minister's wife and injuring one other.

Tennent was born in Mid Calder, Linlithgowshire, Scotland, in 1673. He graduated from the University of Edinburgh in 1695 and was ordained in the Church of Ireland in 1706. He migrated to the Thirteen Colonies in 1718, arriving in the colony of Pennsylvania at the urging of his wife's cousin James Logan, an Irish Quaker and close friend of William Penn. In 1726 he was called to a pastorate at the Neshaminy-Warwick Presbyterian Church in present- day Warminster, where he stayed for the remainder of his life.

With the extinction of the comital family in the male line the comital fief was reverted to the liege lord, the prince-elector of Brandenburg in 1524. After the Marcher electors had adopted Lutheranism in 1539 officials of the new Lutheran state church assessed in Banzendorf that there was a pastorate endowed with two Hufen (1 Marcher Hufe then measured about ) for maintaining the pastor and his family. Banzendorf's population adopted Lutheranism in the course of the Reformation. In 1541/1542 the highly indebted elector secularised the nunnery and took its fiefs.

Francis J. Bremer, Tom Webster, Puritans and Puritanism in Europe and America: A Comprehensive Encyclopedia (2006), p. 534. It was also probably by Cromwell that he was appointed vicar of St. Dunstan and All Saints, the old parish church of Stepney, while he continued pastor of the independent church. This post he held for about seven years, till he was ejected immediately after the Restoration in 1660, but he retained the pastorate of the independent church till his death on 27 September 1671. He was succeeded by Matthew Mead.

Burt was born in the Fairton section of Fairfield Township, Cumberland County, New Jersey, son of Daniel L. and Sarah Clark Burt. He was graduated from the College of New Jersey in 1846, then took a three years' course in the theological seminary. He was ordained by the Miami presbytery on November 1, 1850, and, after a five years' pastorate at Springfield, Ohio, was called to the Franklin Street Presbyterian Church in Baltimore in 1855, and in 1860 to the 7th Presbyterian church in Cincinnati. Dartmouth gave him the degree of D.D. in 1861.

He obtained his college degree from the University of California at Los Angeles; and upon graduation from Princeton Theological Seminary he was ordained to the ministry of the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. in the First Presbyterian Church of Hollywood, California in 1936. Because of modernism, inclusivism, and apostasy, he left that denomination and organized the Calvary Bible Presbyterian Church in Glendale, California, where he served as pastor until 1957. After the death of the Rev. Roy T. Brumbaugh, Kennedy was called to the pastorate of the Tacoma Bible Presbyterian Church, Tacoma, Washington.

In London, Morgan became known as a hard-working, enthusiastic minister, his wife, Sarah, filling his pulpit on a number of occasions. Thomas Edward Ellis also spoke at the chapel, and it was rumoured that Vyrnwy Morgan was planning to enter parliament. In September 1895, Morgan was baptised by total immersion at Watergate Chapel, Brecon, his father-in-law performing the rite. This change of denomination meant a change of pulpits, and in November 1895, John Vyrnwy Morgan was inducted to the Pastorate of Tabernacle English Baptist Chapel, Waun Wen, Swansea.

He left in 1911 after graduating from Arkansas Holiness College to pursue further education at Texas Holiness University. His only other pastorate would later be at Bethany, Oklahoma, from 1918 to 1919. After enrolling at Peniel in 1910, Chapman instead became president of the Arkansas Holiness College, but returned to Peniel University in 1912 to teach there and became dean of the college upon his arrival. After he graduated with his Bachelor of Divinity degree in 1913, President Williams resigned and the college named Chapman president until 1918.

Hardy C. Powers (1900–1972) was an American minister and general superintendent in the Church of the Nazarene. A native of Texas, Dr. Hardy C. Powers was converted in the Alhambra, California Church of the Nazarene, and took theological training for the ministry at Pasadena College in Pasadena, California. After 12 years in the pastorate and 8 years as superintendent of the Iowa District, Dr. Powers was elected to the general superintendency in 1944, and served in this capacity until his retirement in 1968. He was general superintendent emeritus until his death in 1972.

After graduating from seminary in 1925, DeHaan took his first pastorate at Calvary Reformed Church in Grand Rapids, where he attracted large audiences both at the church and on radio. Doctrinally he was Reformed but leaned toward premillennialism as expounded in the Scofield Reference Bible—even more so as he studied Scofield, William L. Pettingill, Harry Ironside, and James M. Gray.Adair, 70-73. DeHaan's premillennialism shocked some of his Reformed brethren, but his refusal to perform infant baptism caused the actual break with the Grand Rapids Classis of the Reformed Church in America.

In 1842, Price became a student at Pontypool Baptist College. After three and a half years, he accepted a call to the Aberdare Welsh Baptist chapel at Carmel, Monk Street, better known as Capel Pen-pound. He began his ministry there at the end of 1845, was ordained on 1 January 1846, and remained there, his only pastorate, for 42 years until his death on 29 February 1888. On 16 March 1847, he married Anne Gilbert, a widow and youngest daughter of Thomas David of Abernant-y-groes, Cwm-bach.

He was born at Bar-le-Duc about 1506. At the age of eight he was placed in an Augustinian monastery, where he took the vows and was ordained priest in 1524. Nine years later he was abbot of a monastery at Bourges, but, becoming indoctrinated with the principles of Protestantism, he left France in 1535 and took refuge in Geneva, where he worked as a proof- reader for Greek and Hebrew. At the recommendation of Pierre Viret he was appointed to a pastorate in Grissier near Lausanne, and there married.

The windows were lengthened, the beamed ceiling and tile floor were covered, and the remnants of the quadrangle were razed. The west sacristy was removed to provide room for a school, which was not actually built until 1921. During the pastorate of Patrick Grogan the roof of the church was once again tiled, the convent and present rectory were built, and a new fountain was placed in the garden. The education of children at Mission San Buenaventura has flourished intermittently since 1829 (during Mexican rule) and continuously since 1922.

Prudence had previously been engaged, but broke off her engagement to the other man who had decided to migrate to Canada. Wedge and Prudence were soon engaged, and had announced their wedding date, but Prudence cancelled the wedding after a family friend brought to her mother's attention rumors that Wedge had not really reformed but was rather living an immoral life. In 1909 Wedge resigned from the pastorate and relocated to San Francisco to work as a missionary on the Barbary Coast. After their marriage, the Wedges moved to San Francisco.

Rice did not complete his seminary course but in 1923, took a position as the assistant pastor of a Southern Baptist church in Plainview, Texas. The following year he became senior pastor in Shamrock, Texas, an oil boomtown; but in 1926 he left the pastorate for evangelism. Settling in Fort Worth, he became an unofficial associate of the flamboyant and authoritarian fundamentalist J. Frank Norris, pastor of First Baptist Church, who was preparing to leave the Southern Baptist Convention. Rice himself broke with the Southern Baptists in 1927.

In 1870, Rev. Henry A. Brann was appointed to take charge of the mission. During his 16-year pastorate, he purchased land and built a small timber-framed church, which was dedicated by John Cardinal McCloskey on December 4, 1877, establishing the parish of St. John. The Rev. Edward O’Gorman was appointed the first resident pastor where he remained for 18 years and during that time greatly increased the church’s property holdings. Rev. O’Gorman “removed” the 1877 church in 1893 and there built half of the present church’s basement at a cost of $21,000.

John M. J. Quinn (1886–1955) was pastor from 1951 until his death in 1955, and headed a Catholic War Veterans organization. Fr. Kearney had been influential spreading Catholicism in the Bronx, founding this parish first "using two portable structures as a temporary church and auditorium." During his pastorate, he also served as professor of religion at Good Counsel College in White Plains and as superintendent of parochial schools in the Bronx. In 2016 the traditional Corpus Christi procession was being held after Sunday Mass of this feast in June, under Frs.

He used to say Mass in the sheds at the railroad station in Amenia and in homes around Millerton. It was he who purchased the land and started to build the churches in Amenia and Millerton. During the pastorate of Fr. Orsenigo, masses were held in private homes around the village while preparations were made to build a church. Fr. Tandy became the first resident pastor in 1864 and established the first Immaculate Conception Church in 1868 presiding over the additional missions in Pawling, Dover Plains, Millerton and Millbrook for twelve years.

It was during this redecorating that the memorial windows of such exquisite design and color were installed. In 1925 the cornerstone for the Parish House was laid, the new parish house was dedicated in February 1926, both during the pastorate of Dr. George Arthur Buttrick, D.D. On November 5, 1931, Dr. Ralph B. Hindman was installed as pastor and because of the economics of the times; the church was forced to give up the mission of Welcome Hall following the retirement of Rev. William E. McLennan, who had been the director since 1909.

After much solicitation from other congregations, he accepted an invitation to the pastorate of Union Chapel in Oxford Road, Manchester, where he remained until his retirement in 1903. He visited Australia and New Zealand in 1889 where he preached at major cities to large congregations, despite poor health.An Eminent Preacher The Rev Dr McLaren South Australian Register 9 February 1889 p.6 accessed 3 July 2011 Maclaren was twice president of the Baptist Union of Great Britain, and he was president of the Baptist World Congress in London in 1905.

Born to devout parents in Aberdeen, Scotland, Chambers moved with his family in 1876 to Stoke-on-Trent when his father, Clarence Chambers, became Home Missions evangelist for the North Staffordshire Baptist Association, then to Perth, Scotland when his father returned to the pastorate, and finally to London in 1889, when Clarence was appointed Traveling Secretary of the Baptist Total Abstinence Association.McCasland, 26, 27, 29. The Chambers lived at 114 Crofton Road, Peckham. At 16, Oswald Chambers was baptized and became a member of Rye Lane Baptist Chapel.

He was born at Truro in Cornwall, the son of Patrick Mackennal, a Scot, who had settled there. In 1848 the family removed to London, and at sixteen he went to the University of Glasgow. In 1854 he entered Hackney College to prepare for the Congregational ministry, and in 1857 he graduated BA at the University of London. After holding pastorates at Burton upon Trent (1856–1861), Surbiton (1862–1870), Leicester (1870–1876), he finally accepted the pastorate of the Congregational Church at Bowdon, Cheshire, in 1877, in which he remained till his death.

She began in 1869 in New England. In 1872 she was licensed in Boston to preach and became the non-resident pastor of a church in Marlborough, Massachusetts. Her husband at the same time settled in Cambridge, and accepted a call to the pastorate of the Church of the Restoration in Philadelphia, while Bowles was called as non-resident pastor of the Universalist Church in Easton, Pennsylvania, a position she held for three years. She left that parish to lay the foundation of a new church in Trenton, New Jersey.

Thomas George Crippen (2 November 1841-13 December 1929), a descendant of an old Huguenot family long resident in Canterbury, was born in London in 1841, and educated for the Congregational Ministry at Airedale College, Bradford, Yorkshire. His first pastorate was at Boston Spa, Yorkshire, 1866, and then at Milverton, Somerset, 1891. Crippen published in 1868 translations of Ancient Hymns and Poems. Two of his original hymns are in the Congregational Church Hymnal, 1887:— "Lord Jesu Christ, by Whom alone" (Election of Deacons), and "O God, Who boldest in Thy hand" (Before a Parliamentary Election).

From 1816 one of these met in the Temple of the Augustinians. Following the pastorate of Jean-Pierre Charlier (1804–1822), and after a one- year vacancy, Genevan preacher of Le Reveil, Merle D'Aubigne, was called as pastor and served 1823-1830. When D'Aubigné left in the wake of the Belgian revolution and independence of 1830, Chrétien-Henri Vent was appointed as successor. In 1830, the Belgian state officially recognized the church as L'Église Protestante de Bruxelles (Brussels Protestant Church), a name it bears to the present day.

Charles Clark, 1875 engraving Charles Clark (19 April 1838 – 29 March 1903) was a Baptist minister and lecturer. Clark was born in London and entered the Baptist College at Nottingham as a student for the ministry. After filling several charges in London and the provinces, he accepted the pastorate of the Baptist Church in Albert Park, Melbourne, Victoria (Australia) where he arrived in April 1869. Having been very successful as an amateur lecturer on secular subjects, Clark resigned his pastoral charge in 1874, and lectured professionally throughout the Australian colonies with extraordinary success.

Breckinridge was appointed superintendent of public education by Governor William Owsley Breckinridge returned to Kentucky, accepting the pastorate of First Presbyterian Church of Lexington. His return to Kentucky was also motivated by a growing fondness for his cousin, Virginia Hart Shelby, who had cared for two of his children during his stay in Pennsylvania. Virginia was the widow of Alfred Shelby, the son of Isaac Shelby, who was twice governor of Kentucky. Their written exchanges included love poems from Robert and concerned questions from Virginia about the wisdom of engaging in a relationship.

In the subsequent years the government of British-Hanoverian Bremen- Verden demolished and rebuilt all the remaining convent buildings, such as the church (1738), the schoolhouse, the mill, the bailiff's office and the pastorate. During the short-lived Westphalian annexation (1810) the territory of the Amt Himmelpforten formed part of the Canton of Stade and Himmelpforten,Klaus Isensee, Die Region Stade in westfälisch-französischer Zeit 1810–1813: Studien zum napoleonischen Herrschaftssystem unter besonderer Berücksichtigung des Stadt Stade und des Fleckens Harsefeld, Stade: Stader Geschichts- und Heimatverein, 2003, simultaneously: Hanover, Univ.

Belfry of St. Peter's, rebuilt in 1941. During the next pastorate of Monsignor James O'Brien, who began in 1888, the demolition of the church began in 1889. The foundation of the building was dedicated by Cardinal James Gibbons on November 23, 1890. Within the year, the building was sufficiently complete to allow Mass to be said in the church on Christmas day. By the end of 1889, the building made of granite and marble quarried in Maryland was complete, with its spire rising to 140 feet and the nave seating 950 people.

Farmer then prepared his treatise on Temptation of Christ (preface dated 23 June 1761). Soon afterwards he accepted the post of afternoon preacher at Salters' Hall, vacated by the promotion of Francis Spilsbury to the pastorate; this was a presbyterian congregation, but Farmer never ceased to be an independent. Except for that of James Fordyce of Monkwell Street, his was the largest afternoon congregation among the presbyterians of London. In 1762 he was elected a trustee of Dr. Williams's foundations; he was also elected a trustee of the Coward Trust.

About the same time he was chosen one of the preachers at the "merchants' lecture" on Tuesday mornings at Salters' Hall. Farmer resigned his Sunday lectureship at Salters' Hall in 1772; he delivered the charge at the ordination of Thomas Tayler at Carter Lane in 1778, but declined to print it; he resigned the merchants' lectureship in 1780. At the same time he resigned the pastorate at Walthamstow, but continued to preach in the morning until a successor was appointed. In 1782 he resigned his place on the Coward Trust, but was re-elected later.

However, Neale would not arrive in Georgetown until January 13, 1792, after recovering from a period of ill health. alt=Chapel of St. Ignatius at Holy Trinity Church in Georgetown Neale's pastorate proved to be highly beneficial to the church. He succeeded in raising considerable funds from Catholics in Montgomery, Prince George's, Charles, and St. Mary's Counties in Maryland during the first several months of his tenure. This allowed construction on the chapel to begin quickly, and its foundation was complete by the end of 1792; the superstructure would be completed the following year.

He was born at Magdeburg, Duchy of Magdeburg, to a family of French refugees. He was educated for the Church, and at Leiden actually preached a sermon as a candidate for the pastorate. But he abandoned theology for more secular studies, especially that of ancient history, in which his learning attracted the notice of the Prince of Orange, who promised him a vacant professorship at Utrecht. On his arrival, however, he found that another scholar had been elected by the local authorities, and he thereupon sought and obtained a commission in the Dutch army.

During his pastorate, Elmbrook grew enough to plant a number of "daughter" churches in the Greater Milwaukee area, while Briscoe also continued his international teaching ministry. He has written more than 40 books. His media ministry, Telling the Truth, which he founded in 1971, continues to operate. In 2000, after serving for 30 years as Elmbrook's senior pastor, Briscoe and his wife, Jill, embarked on new ministries as Elmbrook's Ministers-at-Large, concentrating on reaching out to pastors, missionaries and church leaders around the world, while still maintaining close ties with Elmbrook, their home church.

George Uglow Pope, Tamil scholar and translator of major Tamil literary works, including the Thirukkural, into English, took part in the initiation of the Holy Trinity church here and also served as its chaplain in 1858–59. A congregation of around 700 families are associated with the church. Seven churches are attached to the Pastorate: St. Thomas Church,Ooty, St. John's Church, Kandal, Immanuel Church, Kenthorai, All Saints Church, Toda colony, St. Paul's Church, Muthorai, Christ Church, Thomund, Good Shepherd Church H. P. F. Rev.Victor Prem kumar is the Presbyter.Rev.

During his pastorate in Chernigov, John distinguished himself by operating a spiritual academy, writing prose and poetry inspired by faith, and inspiring faith in others. His most famous work is "Iliotropion", which he wrote in Latin, translated into Slavonic and then into Russian. In the early 21st century, it remains the standard work on theodicy among the Eastern Orthodox. In 1711 he was made Metropolitan of the Siberian city of Tobolsk, taking the place of Metropolitan Philotheos who wished to carry out missionary work among pagan tribes in remote places.

In 1982, Heitzig began a home Bible study that eventually grew into Calvary of Albuquerque. In 1988 and 1989, Calvary of Albuquerque was listed as one of the fastest growing churches in America. In 2009, Calvary of Albuquerque was listed as one of the 15 largest churches in America with an average weekend attendance of 13,000. After a brief pastorate in San Juan Capistrano (Ocean Hills, 2004-2006), Heitzig returned to Calvary of Albuquerque as senior pastor in 2006,Christianity Today, October 2006 following the resignation of the previous pastor, Pete Nelson.

On graduation in 1949 with a Certificate in Theology from the Nigerian Baptist Theological Seminary, Pastor Babalola was appointed pastor of the First Baptist Churches of two adjoining Nigerian towns, Masifa and Ishoko. During his pastorate in these two churches in the Zion Baptist Association, Pastor Babalola met his future wife during activities of the association. Miss Victoria Titiloye Alao was leader of various Women's organizations in her churches - growing up in Ara and teaching in Olla, and she was Young Peoples' Leader for the Zion Baptist Association.

Alice Lillian Rosehill Kahokuoluna (February 20, 1888 – March 14, 1957) was a Congregational minister of Native Hawaiian ancestry. In her time and place, she was the first woman ordained by the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, and the only woman Christian minister in the Territory of Hawaii. Her pastorate was primarily on the Islands of Maui and Molokai, where she helped restore the Siloama Church. Her childhood and young adult church life had been at Kawaiahaʻo Church in Honolulu, and the board of directors of that church later offered her the position of Kahu (pastor).

Another alumnus, who like James Naismith (see above), gained a reputation away from the pastorate and/or academia, was John Weir Foote (1934 Graduate), a heroic World War II Chaplain, and later Ontario Cabinet Minister. W. G. Brown (1902) was a minister who fought for the continuation of the PCC from Red Deer, Alberta, where he served from 1907–1925, then moved to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan where he re-organized the Presbyterian Minority groups into St. Andrew's Church in Saskatoon; and died after he was elected to the Canadian Parliament in 1940.

He migrated to South Australia with his wife and family aboard the Asiatic, arriving in Adelaide in December 1849. He settled at the Burra, where he founded a well-attended church. In late 1851 he accepted a call to the Congregational Church in High Street, Kensington, which was at a low ebb. He commenced his pastorate there on the first Sunday in 1852, and over the next two years did much to restore its fortunes, founding a Sunday School, over which he was to preside for nearly twenty years.

He received his primary and academic education in the schools of Schmalkalden, Eisenach, and Halle, and then spent two years at the University of Erfurt, and seven months at the University of Wittenberg. Following the wishes of his father, he was ordained a priest in 1520, and was appointed Vicar of Vacha. In 1524, however, the teachings of Martin Luther attracted him. Abandoning the Catholic faith, he married, and the following year was appointed to the pastorate of Wenigenlupnitz by James Strauss, and a little later to that of Niemeck by Luther himself.

As the author of the pamphlet "Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth" (1888), Scofield soon became a leader in dispensational premillennialism, a forerunner of twentieth-century Christian fundamentalism.Mangum & Sweetnam, 13–15. Although, in theory, Scofield returned to his Dallas pastorate in 1903, his projected reference Bible consumed much of his energy, and he was also mostly either unwell or in Europe. When the Scofield Reference Bible was published in 1909, it quickly became the most influential statement of dispensational premillennialism, and Scofield's popularity as Bible conference speaker increased as his health continued to decline.

J. Harold Smith (June 14, 1910 – November 13, 2001) was a Southern Baptist evangelist and founder of Radio Bible Hour, "broadcasting the Gospel of Jesus Christ since 1935". Smith was a pioneer in the use of broadcast media and started the Radio Bible Hour broadcast in 1935. He helped to develop Christian radio in the 1940s and was one of the first ministries to be heard nationwide through the giant Mexican radio station XERF. He was the pastor of a number of churches of various sizes and always loved the work of the pastorate.

Hess's call to Atlanta was the result of outreach by Hess to Rev. George F. Patterson, executive vice president of the American Unitarian Association in Boston, Massachusetts. In a November 29, 1929 letter from Hess to Patterson, Hess followed up on a conversation the two gentlemen had had at the Southwestern Federation of Religious Liberals held in Lawrence, Kansas, early that year regarding Hess's desire to fellowship with the Unitarians. Hess's new pastorate (1930–1935) at the United Liberal Church inserted him into a religious environment that was distinctively unique.

In February 1969, John F. MacArthur assumed the pastorate. During the early days of MacArthur's ministry the church doubled in size every two years which led to the building of the Family Life Center in 1971 and a new Worship Center in 1977. In 1972, Moody Monthly magazine published a feature article about the congregation titled "The church with nine hundred ministers". On August 16, 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Pastor MacArthur told the congregation it was "good news" that they defied health orders by not wearing masks or social distancing.

He was born in Berlin, and after studying at the French Theological Seminary of Berlin, was called to a pastorate at Halle (1806). In 1811 he was suspected of having taken part in a conspiracy against King Jerome of Westphalia and was imprisoned in Magdeburg, and later in Kassel. In 1813 he gained his release by a Russian skirmishing corps.The Americana biography He became a professor of Romance languages at the University of Halle in 1822, and from 1838 to 1860 was one of the preachers in the city's cathedral.

Following his suspension, Mahan made no effort to return to the pastorate, living the remainder of his life at the home of his son-in-law, a hotel keeper in Boonville. He declined to make any further statements regarding the part he had taken in the preparation of the book except to say when he was told that the literary world pronounced it a forgery: "Well, I have been a much deceived and a much persecuted man." After the trial, Mahan also promised to withdraw the book from publication.

On 13 May 1571 he became pastor at Niederschlettenbach and six months later a teacher in the Paedagogium at Heidelberg. On 24 August 1573 he resumed the pastorate in the previously Roman Catholic village of Hemsbach; where, with the consent of the congregation, he reconstructed the church along Reformed lines. Dismissed from his office after the death of Frederick III, Elector Palatine, Pareus was appointed, in 1577, by Count Palatine Johann Casimir, pastor at Oggersheim. Transferred to Winzingen in 1580, he cultivated acquaintance with the teachers at the Casimirianum, in the neighboring Neustadt.

Samuel Fisk, who had been let go by the First Church. Following Fisk's dismissal by his new congregation in 1745, the pastorate of Third Church was assumed by Leavitt.The Claims of the Tabernacle Church, Massachusetts Tabernacle Church, Salem, 1847 Dudley Leavitt's assumption of his minister's post in place of Samuel Fisk preceded the Great Awakening by a decade. The autocratic Fisk had broken off from his church in 1735, then a decade later he himself was deposed when church elders rebelled against ministerial authority and picked Leavitt as their candidate of change.

He also was a pastor in New Orleans. In 1854, McTyeire was elected editor of the New Orleans Christian Advocate, serving in this position until 1858. He was then elected editor of the Nashville Christian Advocate, the central organ of the M.E. Church, South. Interrupted in his editorial career by the American Civil War of 1861-1865, he entered the pastorate again in the Alabama Conference, serving in the city of Montgomery, from which he was elected to the episcopacy in 1866 at the General Conference meeting that year in New Orleans.

It was during his successors pastorate, Father Krikor Guerguerian, that Bishop Mikail Nersès Sétian was sent to New York in 1982 to lead the newly established Apostolic Exarchate of United States of America and Canada for the Armenians. Until this time the Divine Liturgy was celebrated in Roman Catholic Churches in Brooklyn and Queens. Cardinal Terence Cooke of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York offered St. Ann's Church on the Lower East Side of Manhattan for use as the Armenian Catholic cathedral. The offer was accepted and St. Ann's Cathedral was established in 1983.

The church was subsequently annexed to the chaplain in the cathedral where it stayed until the early 19th century. In 1803 it was decided that Vejlby parish should become a separate pastorate upon the next vacancy which occurred in 1811 and the parish has since had its own priest. The church cemetery is associated to a myth similar to the Bible story of Jephthah. Allegedly the builder of the cemetery promised to bury the first living being he met after construction had been completed; it happened to be his son.

According to his own account, the message reached him at ten o'clock in the morning, his acceptance was given at two o'clock, and by six o'clock that same evening he was on his way to New York City to make plans for sailing. He returned to Dayton, resigned his pastorate on Christmas Day, and went back to New York on 4 January to board a vessel en route to Sierra Leone. After some delay the three missionaries sailed 23 January 1855, reaching Freetown 26 February. They spent the first few months surveying the field.

Most Reverend Bishop Robert E. Tracy became the new pastor of Saint Mary Magdalen Parish. Bishop Tracy remained in Abbeville only six months, but accomplished many notable things. Among them: restoring the existing rectory, construction of a six-room catechetical center, tuck pointing and water proofing the exterior of the church, installation of an air conditioning unit at the convent of the Sisters of Mount Carmel, and the development of a successful adult religious education program. In January 1960, Monsignor Ignatius A. Martin assumed the pastorate and served in Abbeville until October 1973.

The following year, he succeeded G. Arthur Woolsey as president and served in that position for eight years. In 1978, Pickering assumed the pastorate of the Emmanuel Baptist Church, Toledo, Ohio, which had a regular attendance of 2000, but whose previous pastor had suddenly left after a moral failure. Pickering provided the leadership to stabilize the congregation. In 1986 Pickering became president of Northwest Baptist Seminary, Tacoma, Washington, but following a disagreement over what its board of trustees considered an overly strict position on ecclesiastical separation, Pickering resigned in 1987.

In the middle Byzantine period, Armenian generals and governors served in Cyprus, like Alexios Mousele or Mousere who undertook the construction of Saint Lazarus' basilica in Larnaca. It appears that Saint Lazarus' church had been an Armenian Apostolic church in the 10th century and was used by Armenian-Catholics during the Latin Era as well. The numerous Armenians required an analogous spiritual pastorate, and so in 973 Catholicos Khatchig I established the Armenian Bishopric in Nicosia. Relations between Cyprus and the Armenians became closer when the Kingdom of Cilicia was established.

Seeking a call, he was installed as the pastor of a Congregational Church in Litchfield, Connecticut in October 1827. Then early in March, 1829, he accepted a call from the First Presbyterian Church in Brooklyn, New York though this pastorate ended in 1835, due to a severe throat ailment. Almost immediately he was appointed to serve as the President of Hampden–Sydney College in Virginia. Carroll, unknown to most at the school, was elected to the position almost entirely on the testimony of one old friend who was among the College's trustees.

But his health prevented him from remaining in England. While he was still young he sailed to Australia, and spent one year in evangelistic labors there. After his return to England it was decided that he must return to a better climate for his health. During the early 1880s he preached in many places in Australia, as well as in New Zealand; and finally he decided to accept the pastorate of a Baptist church in Auckland, the Auckland Baptist Tabernacle, where his influence was already becoming widely felt.

A period of lecturing and occasional preaching in America followed, and in 1926 his preaching at the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church, New York City, attracted so much notice that he was asked to become its minister. He was 67 years of age but his preaching had lost none of its vigour, and his sermons were frequently reported in the New York press. His pastorate there was a great success. In 1931 he visited Australia, and celebrated the jubilee of his ministry by preaching at Warragul where he had begun it.

The founding of Albemarle Church dates to 1863, when forty-one people separated themselves for worship. Under the pastorate and leadership of the Rev. James Lewitt, the church was built and opened on 23 July 1867. Its architect was Henry Francis Lockwood of Bradford, who worked extensively for one of the church's subscribers, Titus Salt, and whose former apprentice Cuthbert Brodrick opened the Grand Hotel in the same year. When in use after consecration, a school building and caretaker's cottage were found to be needed, and were built adjacent by 1868.

He returned home to Omaha to take over a Presbyterian pastorate for the summer, where he was convinced to take a position offered him as a chaplain in the United States Army, holding the rank of Corporal as part of the Company A of the Third Nebraska Regiment. He spent the duration of the brief war stationed in Jacksonville, Florida.Gardner, The Schenectadians, pg. 11. Following his release from the military, Lunn enrolled at Union Theological Seminary—an institution which he felt was less conservative and constraining than was the Princeton Seminary.

Bayley was educated at Highbury Theological College, and on quitting that institution was appointed to a pastorate at Louth, Lincolnshire. After some years of labour at that place, he moved (1835) to Sheffield to take charge of the Howard Street congregation, where he remained for about ten years. While there he exerted himself actively in the establishment of an educational institution called the People's College, where he was also in the habit of lecturing on a variety of subjects. Here also in 1846 he started a monthly periodical called the People's College Journal.

The rectory Brennan purchased in 1867 In June 1867, a house was purchased on High Street by Brennan and was converted into a rectory. Plans were then made for a new church to be constructed at this location. The current church was constructed next door to the rectory Father Brennan established on High Street. During his pastorate in Dedham, the Sisters of Charity founded the St. Mary's School and Asylum at what was formerly Temperance Hall, where some of the first Masses were said in Dedham two decades before.

After 20 years of working, praying, and fundraising from the meager immigrant wages of many of the parishioners, the upper church was finished during his pastorate. It took so long that another architect had to take over but was, according to Fleming, "almost too beautiful for ordinary use." One critic said that though some parishes in the area have more people than did the entire town of Dedham, "few parishes in Boston can boast of a more impressive Church" than St. Mary's. Another said it was second to none in the archdiocese.

After the Restoration Douglas was offered the bishopric of Edinburgh if he would agree to the introduction of episcopacy into Scotland, but declined the office, and remonstrated with Sharp for accepting the archbishopric of St. Andrews. He preached before the Scottish parliament in 1661, and 27 June 1662 was removed to the pastorate of Greyfriars Kirk. For declining to recognise episcopacy Douglas was deprived of this charge on 1 October 1662. In 1669 the privy council licensed him as an indulged minister to the parish of Pencaitland in East Lothian.

The question was referred to General Synod, which unanimously ruled that in future cases comparable to Mathews', no minister should be permitted to depart until he had arranged for the repayment of the assistance that he had received from the church.Scouller, James B. Manual of the United Presbyterian Church of North America 1751-1881. Harrisburg: Patriot, 1881, 444-445. From 1840 until his death, Mathews held no pastorate, but was active in ecclesiastical affairs, devoted much time to the cause of education, and delivered a series of lectures to students.

The congregation's past ministers include John Harvard Castle (1830–1890), who became pastor in 1873 (while at Bond St.) and later played an instrumental role in founding the Toronto Baptist College serving as its first President and Professor of Systematic Theology and Christian Ethics.Dictionary of Canadian Biography. "Castle, John Harvard" Benjamin Daniel Thomas (1843–1917) served from October 1881 to July 1903 and was once referred to as "the best- loved Baptist minister in Canada." Henry Francis Perry (1861–?) served from 1903 to 1909, leaving for a pastorate at First Baptist Church Vancouver, British Columbia.

Smith's first post was in a school in Louisville, but due to threats from the Ku Klux Klan, he removed to teach in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. Afterwards he taught in Jackson, Mississippi, where he became a minister licensed by the African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME), and then taught at Yazoo City, Meridian, and several county schools in Mississippi. His first mission for the AME Church was in 1872 in China Grove, Mississippi. The following year, Smith transferred to the Alabama Conference and was assigned a pastorate in Union Springs, Alabama.

As a result most of the faculty, including the newly appointed president, resigned. The board then decided to start from scratch, and in 1848 asked for the rest of the faculty's resignations. After resigning from William and Mary, Minnigerode accepted the pastorate of Merchant's Hope Church in Prince George County where he remained until 1853, when he went to the Freemason Episcopal Church in Norfolk, the largest congregation in the Diocese of Virginia. In 1856, he was appointed rector of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Richmond, Virginia where he served until 1889.

Miss Blocksom told Webster that they must part and gave him a letter containing the line "If we try, we may forget," which found its way into the song. The brokenhearted Mr. Webster resigned his pastorate and left Zanesville. In 1856, Webster met Joseph P. Webster (who later composed the music of "[In the] Sweet By-and-By"). J. P. Webster was looking for lyrics to a song he was writing and Henry Webster responded by writing a ballad about his lost love, changing her name from Ella to Bertha.

Roger Williams began a pamphlet war with John Cotton when he published The Bloudy Tenent of Persecution for Cause of Conscience in 1644. Wheelwright crossed the frozen Merrimack River with a group of followers after he was banished from the Massachusetts colony and established the town of Exeter, New Hampshire. After a few years there, he was forced to leave, as Massachusetts began to expand its territorial claims. He went from there to Wells, Maine for several years, and then accepted the pastorate in Hampton, which was in the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

In February 1892 he relinquished the pastorate of Laura and Appila for Jamestown, Georgetown and Cloverhill, which he resigned in November that year, and took over the Hill Street Baptist Church at Kapunda. He resigned that post and returned to Goodwood early in 1886. His next posting was in late 1898 to Mount Barker, but was suffering ill health, and resigned in May 1900 rather than face another cold winter in the hills, and was given a short-term posting at Magill. While in Mount Barker, he founded a Berean association.

He served Presbyterian churches in Decatur, Georgia; Nashville, Tennessee; and Cleburne, Texas, where he met and later married Ruth Inez Jordan. The couple moved to Pasadena, California, where he accepted the pastorate at the Lincoln Avenue Presbyterian Church in 1941. The McGee's first child, a daughter named Ruth Margaret McGee, was born prematurely and died when she was a few hours old that year, which McGee recounted in his sermon "Death of a Little Child." They later had another daughter who grew up to give them two grandsons.

In Protestant churches, the decision of a church to invite for appointment a particular minister - to "invite in due form to the pastorate of a church (Presbyterian or Nonconformist)" (OED) may be referred to as a call, such as extending a call to so and so, and is first cited from 1560 by the OED.OED, "call", 6b In Evangelicalism, the sense of deliberate purpose before God is generally an expected part of the choice to seek ministerial work in the first place and is often referred to as a calling or call.

There she preached, helped with the formation of the Scottish Universalist Convention, and participated in the dedication of the only church edifice owned by the Universalists, at Stenhousmuir.Clinton Lee Scott, The Universalist Church of America: A Short History (Universalist Historical Society, 1957):57. Soule's first formal pastorate was to the Liberal Christian Association of Elizabeth, New Jersey, beginning in 1876. In 1877 the WCA voted to send Soule as their missionary in Scotland. Arriving in 1878, Soule preached in Dunfermline, Larbert, Braidwood, Lochee, Dundee, and Glasgow, and in England and Ulster as well.

Pennington-Russell's ministerial appointments have highlighted the ongoing dispute among Christians regarding women in leadership roles. While the Baptist tradition emphasizes the autonomy of individual churches, many Baptists in the U. S. are opposed to female pastors. Her first position at Nineteenth Avenue Baptist Church in San Francisco prompted repeated attempts to have the church removed from the state Baptist Convention. In 1998, her second pastorate at Calvary Baptist Church (Waco, Texas) made her the first woman to serve as senior pastor of a Southern Baptist congregation in Texas.

He was also for nearly two years (1860–63) a tutor at Yale. On January 15, 1862, he was ordained pastor of the Congregational Church in Berlin, Connecticut, and resigned his charge on October 30, 1866. He then went to Wisconsin, and on January 17, 1867, was installed over the Hanover Street (Congregational) Church in Milwaukee. He was dismissed from this pastorate on August 31, 1871, and on October 1, 1872, he was again settled over the Congregational Church in Rockford, Illinois, where he remained for eleven years.

After graduating from Wake Forest University and Princeton Theological Seminary, Vanderbloemen took a post as the Associate Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Hendersonville, NC. At 27, he accepted his first Senior Pastorate at the 450-member Memorial Presbyterian Church of Montgomery in Alabama. In less than four years there, the membership tripled and they completed a $5.5 million building program. In 2001, William was a Guest Chaplain for the U.S. House of Representatives. At 31, he was elected Senior Pastor for the First Presbyterian Church of Houston.

W. Don McClure was the third child born into a family of four boys and three girls. His mother, Margaret McNaugher, held a college chair of Greek and Latin before her marriage to Robert Elmer McClure. Rev. McClure served his entire fifty-five year career in the United Presbyterian Church in a single pastorate in Blairsville, PA. Don's interest in an ageless, hardy adventuresome life came from his father, who went on a big game hunt with Don at the age of 70 and hunted the woods of Pennsylvania past his 91st birthday.

Baltimore: Brown Memorial Park Avenue Church, 2008. His wife, Kate Foster Connors, whom he met while both were student interns for U.S. Representative David Price, is also an ordained minister and serves as youth director at Brown Memorial. The Connors have two children.

On March 6, 1879 he was licensed to preach at the Baptist Church in Marion, Alabama and in November 1879 he was made general financial agent by the board at the State Baptist Convention in Opelika, Alabama. In 1880, he resigned from these positions to accept the pastorate of a church at Union Springs, Alabama. In late February 1883 he moved to Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama. In Birmingham, he was a very successful fundraiser for the church, and succeeded in building a new church building costing $25,000 and growing the size of the congregation.

Licensed as a preacher by the presbytery of Linlithgow on 29 May 1745, he combined, while waiting for a charge, writing and agriculture. On 17 May 1753 he was appointed, under the patronage of the Earl of Lauderdale, assistant to John Guthrie, parish minister of Ratho, Midlothian, on whose death in 1756 he became sole incumbent. Eccentricity—his occasionally omitting, for instance, to take off his hat before entering the pulpit—somewhat marred the success of his pastorate. In 1759 he was appointed professor of natural philosophy at the University of St Andrews where he devoted his leisure to experiments in moorland farming.

In 1762 the Church of the Virgin Mary in Grunta became the branch church of the parish of Gang. In the course of the "raabisation", the Libenice farm was closed in 1778 and its fields were parceled out. On the basis of the Patent of Toleration of 1781, the majority of the residents professed to the Protestant Helvetic Confession. Since the number of parishioners was too small to form their own parish, they were assigned to the Helvetian pastorate in Močovice, and the Protestant services were conducted by preachers from surrounding parishes in private houses in Libenice and Dolany.

The son of Thomas Slate, manufacturer of straw hats at 36 Noble Street, London, he was born in London on 10 July 1787. In his 17th year he joined the congregation at Founders' Hall, Lothbury, and became a Sunday school teacher for the London Itinerant Society. In 1805 Slate entered Hoxton Academy, which he left in 1809 to become minister of the Independent church at Stand, near Manchester, where he was ordained on 19 April 1810. There he remained until September 1826, when he accepted the pastorate of Grimshaw Street Chapel, Preston, Lancashire, a charge which he retained for 35 years.

Arising from the suggestion of Rev. P. Watson, the Rev. C. C. Watts, assistant minister of Collins Street Independent Church, Melbourne, was called in July, and served until late 1929, when despite pleas from both Clayton and the newly formed Luhrs Road Church, South Payneham to remain, he accepted a call to Victor Harbor. The Rev A. C. Newbury, minister of the Chatswood, New South Wales, Congregational Church accepted a call to take over the pastorate, and was inducted into Clayton Church at the end of February 1930. He left for the Henley Beach church in October 1940. Rev.

In 1832 he was called to the chair of dogmatics and pastoral theology in the Dublin Theological Institute, a post which he filled, with his pastorate, for twenty years. The degree of D.D. was conferred on him the same year by Dartmouth College. Preaching throughout Ireland, Urwick founded an Irish Congregational home mission, of which he acted as honorary secretary for some years; he agitated for home rule in church matters against the opposition of the Irish Evangelical Society of London with its paid officers. He was one of the founders of the Evangelical Alliance, inaugurated at Liverpool in 1845.

Heshusius himself resigned and went from there to Magdeburg, where he received the pastorate at the Church of St. John in 1560 and the position of superintendent in 1561. But he would not refrain from publicly testifying against the Crypto-Calvinists, Synergists, and others, and he felt compelled to pronounce the ban on the city council.Life of Tilemann Heshusius, translated by Nathaniel J. Biebert (Red Brick Parsonage, 2016). After continuing to preach in spite of the prohibition he had received, the border warden and 30 to 40 armed citizens invaded and occupied his parsonage property at 3 a.m.

In the year 1950 the smaller church was moved to C.S.I. Holy Trinity church, Medak Diocese while the old premises was still maintained as parsonage and prayer hall. Since then the premises has been outlived and due to climatic conditions, the structure suffered damage and an urgent need to demolish the structure safely was felt. With permission by Medak Diocese and suggestions by engineers in the year 2006, the old and unsafe structure was demolished safely. In the year 2006-2007 with the help and support of Diocese, local congregation and the Pastorate Committee under the able leadership of Rev.

In 1879, he declined an invitation to the pastorate of Crown Court, London, in succession to Dr. John Gumming (1807–1881). In 1881 he was chosen as Baird lecturer, and took for his subject Natural Elements of Revealed Theology, and in 1882 he was the St Giles lecturer, his subject being Confucianism. In 1890 he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, the University of Aberdeen gave him its honorary LL.D., and in 1899 he was appointed Gifford lecturer by that university, but declined on grounds of health. In the same year he severed his active connection with St. Bernard's.

Two years later on 2 March a fire destroyed two other farms, which were reconstructed in the following years. In 1798 Banzendorf counted twelve full farmers (reaching at least the minimum farmland holding), one half farmer, four full cotters and 31 Hufen of land altogether, among them two of the pastorate, mostly classified second degree soil quality. The population pyramid of that year was severely distorted, 127 inhabitants above the age of 14, among them 34 without marriage permission, had 93 children under 14.N.N., „Historische Daten im Überblick“, in: 636 Jahre „casa Banzendorp“: 1365–2000, Banzendorf: Gemeinde Banzendorf, 2000, pp.

In August 1934, he was ordained to the pastorate of Second Church in Bangkok. In 1938 and 1939, BoonMark served as translator for Chinese evangelist John Sung and became an outspoken supporter of Sung. The Church of Christ in Thailand elected Boon Mark as general secretary in 1938, a position which he held until after World War II. During the war, the Japanese occupation forces prohibited public Christian worship services, and confiscated Christian church buildings, schools, and hospital. Boon Mark traveled widely throughout Thailand at this time, encouraging members of the CCT to endure the difficulties that they were facing.

Father Wujek, a graduate of the Polytechnic Institute of Lwow, Poland, had thorough training in construction and was able to supervise the subsequent parish construction. Among the many projects he oversaw during his 41-year pastorate were the construction of a convent for the Bernadine sisters in 1940, the erection of the parish CYO building in 1960 and an additional wing to the school containing a new cafeteria and four classrooms. Father Wujek was elevated to Monsignor on September 16, 1938 by Pope Pius XI. After serving St. Mary's for 41 years, Monsignor Wujek retired in June 1969.

Joyce contracted tuberculosis and became a patient at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, and Parrish served as his priest. After Parrish's election as rector, he worked with William Hopkins Leupp and James Parsons to establish an "endowment fund" for the parish—he also served as the church's treasurer. By the time he left after his 13-year pastorate, the previously debt-ridden parish had an investment fund totaling $250,000, a fund that enabled the parish to survive the Depression far more easily than more financially strapped churches. Parrish also was committed to Sunday Schools as essential to faith development.

The adjacent churchyard contains a large wooden cross, the replacement for a rude cross erected in May, 1876, when Father Boucher led an eleven-mile pilgrimage, ending in the churchyard at Jefferson, invoking divine aid against the besetting grasshopper plague. Father Boucher died in 1900 in Quebec. Soon after the arrival of Father Boucher, a large wooden church was built and served until 1890, when the current church was erected, during the pastorate of Father Cyrille St. Pierre. In 1889 a school and convent were built and these were replaced by the present parochial school building in 1951.

B. Quaife, then entered Camden College, where he studied theology under Rev. S. C. Kent and Rev. Dr. Fraser in conjunction with his course at Sydney University, where he was captain of the Rugby Football Club.

He served at of the Beresford Street Congregational Church, Auckland from 1877 to January 1886, and oversaw its rapid expansion, with the establishment of Mount Eden and three other branch churches.

Burrage graduated from Brown in 1861, entered the 36th Massachusetts Regiment as a private, rose to the rank of captain, was wounded at Cold Harbor and brevetted major of volunteers, and became an assistant adjutant general on the staff. He was captured at Petersburg in November 1864, and held as a prisoner at Libby Prison until 22 February 1865. He resumed his studies at the close of the American Civil War, graduated from Newton Theological Seminary in 1867, spent a year abroad, and from 1869 to 1873 was pastor of the First Baptist Church in Waterville, Maine. This was his only pastorate.

Following a common school education, he pursued his collegiate and classical studies in one of the Irish colleges, then coming to this country and continuing his theological course in the Grand Seminary, Montreal, where he was ordained in 1871. His first assignment was to Olneyville, R.I., and, subsequently, he labored in Attleboro. When Reverend Father Matthias McCabe was transferred from Sandwich to the pastorate of the Church of the Sacred Heart in this city, his duties at Sandwich on Cape Cod were taken up by Rev. Father Brady, until drafted to take the place of the late Rev. Bric.

Foucault traces the conceptual discourse of the populace back to the Middle Ages definition of the pastorate which to the Middle Ages mind meant salvation, obedience and truth. First of all the discourse of raison d'État and salvation; Foucault manages to trace conceptually the system of salvation through the 17th century usage of coup d'état politics. Foucault notices that entire treatise were devoted to the very notion of coup d'état, for example a text written in 1639 by Gabriel Naudé, entitled Considerations sur les coups d'etat and writing in 1631 Foucault sites Jean Sirmond Le Coup d’Estat de Louis XIII.Security, Territory, Population pp.

He had earlier been grand prelate of the Knights Templar of Texas and was pastor of the Laurel Heights Methodist Church in San Antonio, Texas, whence he came after an eight-year pastorate in Little Rock, Arkansas.United Press, "Rev. Fletcher Dies," The Marshall (Texas) News- Messenger, February 22, 1931, image 13"New Pastor to Arrive About Friday," Daily Arkansas Gazette, Little Rock, January 6, 1910, image 7 Fletcher, a prominent Mason, died of pneumonia in his San Antonio home on February 20 or 21, 1931. He was survived by his wife, the former Emmie A. Jackson, and a sister, Mrs.

During his pastorate in Doneraile, Sheehan established the custom of weekly meetings with his parishioners which were held on Sunday afternoons. In the early years, these meetings concentrated on apprising tenants of the conditions of the Land Purchase Acts, and of their concrete application to their circumstances. By 1903, practically all land leases had been bought out by the tenenary in A Letter of Sheehan's Doneraile parish, without acrimony or agitation and on terms that were satisfactory to both landlord and tenant. From then on, Sheehan concentrated on promoting modern agricultural methods, especially in tillage and dairy farming.

This time the pews were removed, new chairs purchased, the chapel was repainted and the floor refinished. The sanctuary was remodeled again between June–September 1957 during the tenure of Dr. Hindman's pastorate. This time a canopy was added above the pulpit, the pulpit lowered a foot, ornate carvings installed behind the chancel and a second doorway added on the right side of the chancel. Also, an extension of the existing balcony outside the Historical Hall was added to connect the Parish House with the Old Library, additional bathrooms and storage was added in this new connecting balcony area.

Kaan managed a significant literary productivity despite his pastoral commitments: including six collections of hymns, with translations into over fifteen languages. Kaan said that he wrote his first hymn when aged 34. During his pastorate in Plymouth, the first edition of Pilgrim Praise was published in 1968, going into second and third editions in 1972 and 1975. Paul Oestreicher commissioned a hymn for Remembrance Sunday, sung for the first time in Coventry Cathedral, but (in Oestreicher's opinion), freeing it of its anachronistic nationalist theology; Kaan's "For the Healing of the Nations" inspired the title of his biography by Gillian Warson.

His first assignment was as an associate pastor at Our Lady of Peace Church, Washington, D.C. In 1976, at the age of 28 years and just two years after ordination as a priest, he was named a pastor of St. Teresa of Avila parish in Washington. He was the pastor of this church for 14 years. During Stallings' pastorate, the parish become known for its integration of African-American culture and gospel music in the Mass. In 1985, Stallings secretly bought a private home in Anacostia in violation of an archdiocese rule requiring priests to live in the parish rectory.

Jeremiah Wright, the son of a long-tenured Philadelphia Baptist minister, interviewed for the Trinity pastorate on December 31, 1971. Jordan recalls that Wright exuded excitement and vision for the church's new mission statement, and that Wright's response to the question "How do you see the role of the Black Church in the black struggle?" indicated he was the only possible candidate for Trinity. With the church also impressed with Wright's educational credentials --Wright held graduate degrees in English studies and Divinity and was studying for a doctorate in religious history--he was shortly confirmed as the new pastor.

First Baptist Church was founded in November 1887 by Allen Hill of Jennings County, Indiana.Bill Dolan, Hammond Baptist church rests its faith in God, not any man, nwitimes.com, USA, July 31, 2012 Its first meeting was on November 14, 1887 with 12 members on the 28th. However, it originally met in the Morton House Hotel which stood on what is currently the 100 block of Willow Court. Allen Hill's pastorate was short lived at approximately 4 months. By April 1888, B.P. Hewitt became the church's permanent pastor and Allen Hill went on to start several other churches.

"A Brief History of Woodstock" Web page on the Woodstock, Connecticut official town Web site, accessed July 30, 2006 In 1682, Massachusetts bought a tract of land, which included Woodstock, from the Mohegans. A group of 13 men from Roxbury, Massachusetts (home of the Pastorate of Woodstock's earlier visitor, John Eliot), settled the town in 1686 and named it New Roxbury. Judge Samuel Sewall suggested the town change its name to Woodstock in 1690, citing its proximity to Oxford, Massachusetts, and in 1749 the town became part of Connecticut. The present name is after Woodstock, in England.

Cyprian became a Baptist preacher in London, and in 1838 was ordained pastor of the baptist chapel, Eld Lane, Colchester. In 1842 he resigned his pastorate on account of ill health, but remained at Colchester, taking literary and occasional Ministerial work, till 1849. In 1849 he joined the communion of the Church of England, and entered Queens' College, Cambridge, where he graduated LL.B. in 1856. He had previously been licensed to the perpetual curacy of St. Michael at Thorn, Norwich, and in 1860 he was presented by John Thomas Pelham, bishop of Norwich, to the rectory of Heigham.

The Comac Society was the second to be formed on Long Island, preceded only by Newton in 1768. However, the historic building we now call our 1789 Chapel, has the distinction of being the oldest Methodist Church in continuous use in New York in which people still worship in the original building, with but few alterations. For it was in 1789 during the pastorate of William Phoebus that James Hubbs and the community erected "a neat, substantial and commodious house of worship." Others active in the society at that time were Nehemiah Brush, Jacob Wheeler, Charles Peters, Joel Rogers and Jacob Hoff.

Charles S. Gray was Pastor. In 1952 remodeling included a new roof, new foundation, heating system, and some replacement floor beams, during the pastorate of R.R. Roberts, who also wrote a history of Methodism in Commack. In 1957 because of increasing attendance, the first section of the Religious Education Building was completed at a cost of $60,000, and rented for three years for weekday use to the Commack Public Schools. In 1961, at a time of burgeoning population growth in Commack, a second unit was added at a cost of $70,000, and used by Suffolk County BOCES until 1973.

Frederick Lee "Fred" Shuttlesworth (born Fred Lee Robinson, March 18, 1922 – October 5, 2011) was a U.S. civil rights activist who led the fight against segregation and other forms of racism as a minister in Birmingham, Alabama. He was a co-founder of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, initiated and was instrumental in the 1963 Birmingham Campaign, and continued to work against racism and for alleviation of the problems of the homeless in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he took up a pastorate in 1961. He returned to Birmingham after his retirement in 2007. He helped Martin Luther King Jr. during the civil rights movement.

By 1921, the Winchester and Western Railroad had been constructed to the east of Hebron Church by the Intermountain Construction Company to connect Wardensville with Winchester and develop the area's timber, mining, and fruit industries. In 1932, the church's piano was donated by George E. Brill of Baltimore. Hebron Church celebrated its 150th anniversary in 1936, during the pastorate of Lawrence P. Williamson (1930–37). On October 29, 1961, in celebration of the church's 175th anniversary, the congregation dedicated a new brick community and religious-education building designed to be architecturally compatible with the 1849 brick church.

By 1926 the seminary had fourteen students and, two years later, ten. At this time the faculty of teachers was formed by Vincent L. David, his wife, Nils Bengston and Emilio Mora. One program aimed at training men for the pastorate, while the other trained lay leaders for work at the various Baptist missions. The seminary was very dependent on aid from North American and was negatively affected by the Great Depression. The contributions of the FMB to the Baptist work in Spain decreased by 33%, and the Baptist Theological Institute of Barcelona had to temporarily cease functioning in 1929.

In 1984, Murphey left the pastorate to become a full-time writer. 90 Minutes in Heaven: A True Story of Death and Life has sold more than 5 million copies, been printed in 26 languages, and appeared on the New York Times paperback bestseller list for 26 weeks."New York Times Bestseller lists Paperback Non-Fiction Category" Since the initial publication of 90 Minutes in Heaven, three follow-up books have been released: Daily Devotions Inspired by 90 Minutes in Heaven and Heaven Is Real, also on the New York Times bestseller list, and Getting to Heaven: Departing Instructions for Your Life Now.

It appears that Saint Lazarus' church had been an Armenian Apostolic church in the 10th century and was used by Armenian-Catholics during the Latin Era as well. The numerous Armenians required an analogous spiritual pastorate, and so in 973 Catholicos Khatchig I established the Armenian Bishopric in Nicosia. Relations between Cyprus and the Armenians became closer when the Kingdom of Cilicia was established. The Kingdom, on the coast of Cilicia to the north of the island, was established at around 1080 AD by Armenian refugees who fled the Seljuk invasion to the north and remained an ally of Byzantium.

These members included: Mother Montgomery, Sister Dobbins, Sister Milvin Biser, Missionary E. Moore, Sister Nellie McNeal, Sister Eva Allen, Deacon Chester Byrd, Bishop Grady, Superintendent Grant, Bishop R. E. Ranger, Superintendent Crawford, Elder G. T. Garcia, Superintendent Bell. After the demise of Elder L. C. Smith, Bishop Thaddeus D. Iglehart installed Elder J. B. Pope, Jr. as the pastor of “The Mother Church”. Under the pastorate of Pope, significant renovations are being completed on the 90-year-old building. Pastor J. B. Pope, Jr. made significant improvements to the infrastructure and overall mission of the Denver Heights COGIC.

According to the local tradition the carpenters were two brothers, fled probably from Moldavia. The church was built during the pastorate of Ignat Opriș and Filip Zob Opriș, the later ordained in 1733 in Iași by the metropolitan Antoniu of Moldavia. The present church, as its forerunner, was named a Băndrenilor, after the noble founder family Șerba, nicknamed Băndreni. We do not know with whose permission the itinerant church carpenters had started the construction of an unfamiliar Moldavian church with lateral apses here, yet, the local tradition remembers the villagers became very upset for this and discharged the carpenters from their started work.

In 1954, when Angela was just three months old, her father received a pastorate at the church in (a quarter of Perleberg in Brandenburg), which was then in East Germany. The family moved to Templin and Merkel grew up in the countryside north of East Berlin. Merkel and Lothar de Maizière, 1990 In 1968, Merkel joined the Free German Youth (FDJ), the official communist youth movement sponsored by the ruling Marxist–Leninist Socialist Unity Party of Germany. Membership was nominally voluntary, but those who did not join found it difficult to gain admission to higher education.

Born in Saratoga, he was taught by his father and employed for a time as a clerk in Detroit and later as a bank clerk in Albany, New York; while in the latter position he studied theology. After ordination his first pastorate was in Poughkeepsie in 1848. He officiated in Cleveland, Ohio for three years, in Buffalo from 1855 to 1860, and in Philadelphia from 1860 to 1866. During the Civil War he served in Virginia with the United States Christian Commission in 1862, and was chaplain of the Forty-seventh Regiment, National Guard of New York, in 1869.

It was not safe for him to resume his ministry in London; after time in Wales and Lincolnshire he went to Germany, where he remained two or three years, returning at length to London by way of Rotterdam. In his absence, Colonel William Legge in the king's name took possession of his property. In London he once more resumed his school and his pastorate, preaching also a morning lecture on Sundays at Pinners' Hall, Old Broad Street, then in the hands of independents. On 10 May 1670 he was arrested at his meeting in George Yard, under the Conventicles Act 1670.

In 1764 he became pastor at Wisbech in Cambridgeshire, where in 1766 he married Grace Loftus, daughter of a recently deceased ironmonger. Of their many children, only three survived infancy. The first of these, John (later known as a portrait painter), was born in 1767 at Marshfield in Gloucestershire, where the Reverend William Hazlitt had accepted a new pastorate after his marriage. In 1770, the elder Hazlitt accepted yet another position and moved with his family to Maidstone, Kent, where his first and only surviving daughter, Margaret (usually known as "Peggy"), was born that same year.

Under Monsignor Filardi, Saint Stephen Martyr began preparations to celebrate the 50th anniversary of its new church building. Monsignor Filardi's tenure at Saint Stephen Martyr was short, and he was transferred to the pastorate of Our Lady of Lourdes Parish in Bethesda, Maryland, in June 2009. Monsignor Paul Langsfeld became pastor at Saint Stephen Martyr as Monsignor Filardi's successor in January 2010, and he helped complete plans for the church building's 50th anniversary. Monsignor Langsfeld was previously Vice Rector at Mount St. Mary's Seminary, and later the Rector of the Pontifical College Josephinum in Columbus, Ohio.

Dr. Stephen A. Treash Dr. Stephen A. Treash, Associate Pastor under Pastor Allaby, accepted the senior pastorate in 1997, and is the church's current pastor. Under Pastor Treash's leadership, the church expanded the number of services to reach out to those in the community who may not normally be drawn to a traditional church, particularly young adults. The church retains a traditional worship service, but also offers services of contemporary worship and a special "next generation" format service called "Sanctuary." In the early 21st century, the church again found itself having outgrown its existing church facility.

William Cleaver Wilkinson, D.D. (October 19, 1833 in Westford, Vermont – April 25, 1920 in Chicago) was a Baptist preacher, professor of theology, professor of poetry, and literary figure. He popularized the "Three W's and the Five W's". He graduated from the University of Rochester in 1857 and the Rochester Theological Seminary in 1859. After his graduation, he visited Great Britain and on his return in November 1859, he became pastor of the Wooster Place Baptist church in New Haven, Connecticut. On account of ill health, he resigned his pastorate in 1861 and took a walking tour of England.

Edwards's grandfather and predecessor in the pastorate, Solomon Stoddard, had been even more liberal, holding that the Supper was a converting ordinance and that baptism was a sufficient title to all the privileges of the church. As early as 1744, Edwards, in his sermons on Religious Affections, had plainly intimated his dislike of this practice. In the same year, he had published in a church meeting the names of certain young people, members of the church, who were suspected of reading improper books, and also the names of those who were to be called as witnesses in the case.

Weber was ordained in 1824, and went for a short time to the episcopal seminary at Trento to prepare himself for pastoral work; in 1825 he returned to his monastery. After a short time spent in the pastorate, he began to teach at the high-school at Meran, where he remained for twenty years. He received calls to professorships from the University of Innsbruck, from the Benedictine Lyceum at Augsburg, and from the crown-prince of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, but remained at Meran until he was called away by the political events of 1848. His parliamentary labours attracted attention.

Soon afterwards, however, his marriage and his acceptance of a pastorate marked a sharp change of views, and he produced a number of noteworthy works on practical theology. He was a thoroughly learned and prominent Pietist Lutheran, with a wide range of influence, and at least in his early career a radical Pietist, vehemently opposed to the unbending ecclesiastical structures of his time. His sacred poems also made a substantial contribution to the treasury of hymns within the Lutheran church, and a poem of his was used by Johann Sebastian Bach (“Vergiss mein nicht,” BWV 505).

Swindoll was ordained into the ministry in 1963 and served in Dallas, under J. Dwight Pentecost, for two years. He has since held senior pastorates in Waltham, Massachusetts (1965–67), Irving, Texas (1967–71), and Fullerton, California (1971–94). He started his current senior pastorate in Frisco, Texas in 1998. Swindoll is the founder of Insight for Living, which produces a radio program of the same name on Christian and non-Christian radio stations around the world. The program is heard on more than 2000 stations, as well as being webcast, and is translated into several languages.

Monsignor Martin introduced the Legion of Mary, the Charismatic Renewal and the Cursillo to the parish. He was also instrumental in the construction of a music room and an additional classroom at Mount Carmel. Other improvements included the construction of a mausoleum, garden crypt, and Saint Paul Cemetery, a new high school (Vermilion Catholic High), a football stadium, expanded office facilities at the rectory, two parish community retreats, more renovation work on the church which included enlargement of the sacristy. During his pastorate, both extraordinary ministers of the Word and extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion were appointed to serve the Parish community.

By this time the chapel had a resident pastor again, and a permanent Sunday school was started in 1880. After a period of just over 100 years during which four resident pastors had served the chapel, it was again served by visiting or lay ministers from 1962 onwards when Joseph Turner retired after a 38-year pastorate. The chapel is registered for worship in accordance with the Places of Worship Registration Act 1855; its number on the register is 34990. Under the name Calvinist Independent Chapel it was licensed for the solemnisation of marriages on 11 September 1895.

He combined the roles of priest and politician in a way which his grandnephew, Pope Benedict XVI, rejected. With exception of a pastorate of three years at Günzelhafen, 1885–1888, he lived for a number of years at Munich, where he devoted himself to journalism and research. In 1893 Ratzinger was again elected to the Bavarian Landtag, where he was now a moderate adherent of the "Bayerischer Bauernbund" (Bavarian Peasant Union) party, his views of social politics having caused him in the meantime to sever his connections with the Centre Party. In 1898 he was again elected a member of the Reichstag.

This was a period of great growth and expansion. Union Bethel became known as the seven day a week church During his pastorate at Union Bethel Reverend Primm established the Sarah Allen Child Development Center, This program set the pattern for Child Care across the City of New Orleans and later throughout the AME Church Connection. The Center was self-sustaining and received no funding from outside sources. In addition, he established the Edythe M. Primm Well Baby Clinic which employed a physician, two registered nurses, one student nurse and one clerk and the Primrose New-Life Building.

For a year he returned to Baptist Bible Seminary as professor of theology, and in 1988, he moved to the pastorate of the fundamentalist Fourth Baptist Church, Minneapolis, Minnesota, the home of Central Baptist Theological Seminary—of which Pickering also assumed the presidency. In 1993 Pickering was named "Alumnus of the Year" by Bob Jones University. The same year he joined the Baptist World Mission, serving as Deputation Director from 1993 to 1996, and field representative from 1996 until his death in 2000. In 1983 Pickering was diagnosed with cancer in the frontal sinuses near his brain.

The next year he quit work as a schoolteacher, becoming a full-time priest. Noticing that the talents of the young priest exceeded those meant for a village priest, Vartolomeu Stănescu, Bishop of Râmnic, called Marina to him and on November 1, 1932 named him director of the St. Nicholas Theological Seminary in Râmnicu Vâlcea. That day he was also assigned as a priest at the Cathedral of Saint Nicholas, Râmnicu Vâlcea. On September 1, 1933, he was transferred, at his request, to serve as a priest at the parish of St. George, Râmnicu Vâlcea, whose pastorate was then vacant.

After relinquishing the presidency at Eastern Nazarene, Shields taught at Connecticut Women's College in New London, Connecticut before returning to his alma mater, Pasadena College, to teach education and psychology,1934 Pasadena College Yearbook 1935 Pasadena College Yearbook where he was awarded an honorary doctor of divinity in 1935.Point Loma Nazarene University Honorary Degrees list In 1935, after receiving his honorary doctorate from Pasadena, he returned to Eastern Nazarene to teach. Shields took the pastorate at Bethany Nazarene Church in Rumford, Rhode Island in 1941,Bethany Nazarene Church history after his return to Eastern Nazarene in 1935.

Living in North London, he worked energetically for the temperance cause with pen and speech. He was made an hon. M.A. of Bates College, Maine, U.S.A., in 1869 and afterwards D.D. On his father's death in 1876 he took over the pastorate of New Church Street Chapel, where he had assisted, but resigned it in 1881, to devote himself to temperance work. He represented the Baptist New Connexion at the centennial conference in America in 1880, acted as secretary to the Temperance Hospital opened in 1881, and was president of the Association of General Baptists held at Norwich in the same year.

Kelley took the pastorate of the First Baptist Church in Pineville in 1919; here he led prohibition rallies and preached passionately against alcohol. In 1924 while walking the L&N; railway through a pre-civil war tunnel crossing creeks and mountains the voice of God came clear to him. The first meeting was held in 1926, with a two-week schedule. He felt led to start an annual Bible Institute and chartered Clear Creek Mountain Springs, Inc. The institution transformed into Clear Creek Mountain Preacher School and Clear Creek Baptist School during the 1940s and 50s.

After graduating from seminary, Cadman moved to the United States, to pastor a local Methodist church in Millbrook, New York. In 1895, he started the Metropolitan Methodist Church (now The United Methodist Church of the Village) on Seventh Avenue between Thirteenth and Fourteenth Streets, in New York City, where his preaching attracted large crowds. In 1901, he left the Metropolitan Methodist Church to lead the Central Congregational Church of Brooklyn, New York, where he would minister for 35 years until his death in 1936. The church grew to become one of the largest U.S. Congregationalist assemblies during his pastorate.

In 1759 he was in the Netherlands, where he found that the Rev. Benjamin Sowden, the English minister of the presbyterian church at Rotterdam, supported by the English and Dutch governments with two pastors, required a substitute; Cogan applied for and obtained the place. He continued to seek for a pastorate over a dissenting congregation in England, and about 1762 he was selected as the minister of a chapel at Southampton, where he soon publicly renounced Calvinism and adopted the doctrines of Unitarianism. A quarrel with his congregation followed, and Cogan became the junior minister of the English church at the Hague.

Between 1955 and 1956, Jones was pastor of the Dungan Chapel Baptist Church located on the border of Virginia and North Carolina. Vendyl came to believe that many apparently anti-Jewish statements in the gospels were "omitted in more ancient manuscripts" basing this claim on the "marginal notes" of an unidentified Bible. In October 1956, Jones resigned the pastorate and moved to Greenville, South Carolina where he began his studies in the Talmud Torah (a children's elementary religious school) under Rabbi Henry Barneis. This education was augmented by learning with the late Rabbi Max Stauber of Spartanburg.

Seelitz was a short-lived town near Altenburg, one of the seven colonies established in 1839 in the Saxon Migration. Pastor Ernst Moritz Bürger was the Lutheran pastor of the village. Seelitz was settled by people from Bürger's congregation in Germany and from that of his father. Although only one of the colonists is recorded as coming from the small parish of Seelitz, which is near Rochlitz in the Zwickauer Mulde valley, Bürger may have chosen it out of filial piety and the memory of his own first pastorate, rather than Lunzenau, from which he and most of his people had actually come.

An Oration on the Death of Lieut. Gen. George Washington, Delivered at Staunton, on the 22d day of February, 1800, by John Glendy, printed by John Wise, 1800 In 1803, he then went on, with Thomas Jefferson's recommendation, to be pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church in Baltimore, and while serving there was elected Chaplain of the Senate (1815). In 1822 he was given the Doctor of Divinity degree by the University of Maryland. In 1832, John Brackenridge, D.D. became his associate pastor at Second Church and soon succeeded Glendy in the pastorate there, due to Glendy's declining health.

Bradbury was born in Yorkshire, and educated for the congregational ministry at Attercliffe Academy; Oliver Heywood gave him books. He preached his first sermon on 14 June 1696, and went to reside as assistant and domestic tutor with Thomas Whitaker, minister of the independent congregation at Call Lane, Leeds. From Leeds, in 1697, Bradbury went to Beverley, as a supply; and in 1699 to Newcastle-on-Tyne, first assisting Richard Gilpin, and then Benjamin Bennet, Gilpin's successor, both presbyterians. It seems that Bradbury expected a co-pastorate, and on William Turner's account his later influence helped split the congregation.

The united congregation used the new church built by the former Methodist congregation on Mimico Avenue at Station Road on the west side in the heart of Mimico. Mimico Town Council, which had been meeting in the Mimico Carnegie Library, purchased the old Methodist Church to be the Town Hall while the old Methodist Manse on Queens Ave at Mimico became Hogle's Funeral Home. The first term of union between the two former parishes was for a dual pastorate for the first year and then the election of a new pastor. When the year had ended, one of the resigning pastors, Rev.

In addition to being explicitly multi-cultural and multi-racial, First Church under Smith's leadership also became more politically active and welcomed the gay and lesbian community. Over a 20-year pastorate, Smith shared his pulpit with a wide range of clergy, elected officials and scholars including Professor Derrick Bell, the Dalai Lama, Mayor David Dinkins of New York and Marc Morial, now president of the National Urban League. While in Brooklyn, Smith taught at New York Theological Seminary and ran a sensitivity training program for the local precinct of New York City Police Department. In September 2002, Smith was introduced by Rep.

On the following 24 December he preached his first sermon at Fishponds and became a student of the Bristol Baptist College in September 1838. In 1841 he was chosen pastor of a small Baptist congregation in Lower Abbey Street, Dublin. He moved in 1846 to South Street Chapel, Exeter. On 29 July 1849 Gould became pastorate at St. Mary's Chapel, Norwich, in succession to William Brock. In 1857 his church was divided on the question of admitting the non-baptised to communion; a secession followed, and a bill in chancery (May 1858) was filed by a trustee, the Rev.

Davidson was born in Kinghorn, Fife, Scotland, and was educated for the ministry. Having gained a considerable reputation as a preacher, he was invited to assume the pastorate of Chalmers Church in Adelaide. Accepting the call, he arrived in South Australia in June 1870, and was connected with Chalmers Church until 1877, when he associated himself with the Adelaide Union College. When Sir Walter Watson Hughes agreed to endow the University of Adelaide with £20,000 for two professorships, he stipulated that Davidson should fill the first chair of English Language and Literature and Mental and Moral Philosophy.

In October 1881 he celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of his becoming publisher of the Athenæum. For many years Francis resided at 2 Catherine Street, and then at 20 Wellington Street in the Strand, by his publishing offices. In 1849 he joined the new Bloomsbury Chapel under the pastorate of William Brock. Later on he lived at 11 Burghley Road, Highgate Road; but he returned in 1881 to 20 Wellington Street, There he died on 6 April 1882, and he was buried in Highgate cemetery on 18 April, near the grave of Michael Faraday, in the presence of many literary men.

Seeking a better climate for his poor health, Olin traveled to the southern United States, where he found employment as a teacher at Tabernacle Academy in Mount Ariel, in the Abbeville area of South Carolina. After having a religious awakening at the age of 25, he gave up consideration of the practice of law and became ordained into the Methodist Episcopal Church; Olin was recognized as a deacon by the Milledgeville, Georgia, conference in January 1826. He then served a pastorate in Charleston, but his health prevented him from continuing in that capacity. He became professor of belle-lettres at the University of Georgia in 1827.

He was born in Botetourt County, Virginia. He graduated from Pennsylvania College in 1841 as the valedictorian of his class and two years later from Gettysburg Seminary. He served his first pastorate at Indianapolis, Indiana from 1843 until 1845. Scherer then had ministries at Wabash County, Illinois, at Olney, Illinois and at Shelbyville, Illinois. He, with six other ministers, organized the Lutheran Synod of South West Virginia on September 20, 1841, at St. John's Church, Wythe County, Virginia. Scherer died near Shelbyville, Illinois, on October 15, 1851, while Luther was living as a guest in his home shortly before he left for Springfield, Ohio to begin his studies at Wittenberg College.

Burr continued in his pastorship throughout his life, until infirmity forced him to attempt to resign his pastorate in April, 1907; the church voted not to accept his resignation, but to continue the relationship of pastor as long as he lived. Outside of his parish he was widely known through his scientific lectures and his numerous volumes. From 1868 to 1876 he was Lecturer on the Scientific Evidences of Religion at Amherst College, and he also lectured at the Sheffield Scientific School, at Williams College, and in New York and Boston. The substance of his lectures before the Seniors of Amherst College was printed in his "Pater Mundi".

Coming to the United States when 11 years old, his early education was obtained in the public schools of Brooklyn, New York. For several years after graduation from the high school there he was engaged in mercantile life, but in 1887 resumed his studies at Colgate University in Hamilton, New York. In 1890, he entered the full Hebrew and Greek course in theology and was graduated from the Hamilton Theological Seminary in 1893. He was for two years pastor at Binghamton, New York, afterward accepting a call to the pastorate of the First Baptist Church of Ridgewood, New Jersey, where he remained for three years.

Spurgeon at age 23. In April 1854, after preaching three months on probation and just four years after his conversion, Spurgeon, then only 19, was called to the pastorate of London's famed New Park Street Chapel, Southwark (formerly pastored by the Particular Baptists Benjamin Keach, theologian John Gill and John Rippon). This was the largest Baptist congregation in London at the time, although it had dwindled in numbers for several years. Spurgeon found friends in London among his fellow pastors, such as William Garrett Lewis of Westbourne Grove Church, an older man who along with Spurgeon went on to found the London Baptist Association.

In the autumn of 1807 he moved from Enderby to Leicester, and in 1808 he married the servant of a brother minister. He had proposed after an almost momentary acquaintance, allegedly in very abrupt and peculiar terms; it seems to have been a successful marriage. On the death of Dr Ryland, Hall was invited to return to the pastorate of Broadmead chapel, Bristol, and as the peace of the congregation at Leicester had been to some degree disturbed by a controversy regarding several cases of discipline, he resolved to accept the invitation, and removed there in April 1826. He suffered badly from renal calculus, and increasing infirmities and sufferings afflicted him.

Colin James Bennetts (9 September 1940 - 10 July 2013) was a British Anglican bishop. He was the Bishop of Coventry. The son of James Thomas Bennetts and Winifred Couldrey, he was educated at Battersea Grammar School, at Jesus College, Cambridge, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in modern and medieval languages and theology and a Master of Arts in 1963, and at Ridley Hall, Cambridge. From 1965 to 1969, Bennetts was Curate of St Stephen, Tonbridge, from 1969 to 1973 Chaplain to the Oxford Pastorate, from 1973 to 1980 Chaplain of Jesus College, Oxford and from 1980 to 1990 Vicar and Canon Librarian of St Andrew, Oxford.

A year later, he obtained the "Emouna - l'amphi des religions" Certificate at the Institute of Political Science in Paris. On 9 April 2018, he was appointed by Pope Francis as the Apostolic Visitor for the Romanian Greek-Catholics in Western Europe, and on 11 October 2018, he was appointed National Coordinator for the pastorate of Romanian Greek-Catholics in Italy by the Italian Bishop's Conference. On 22 January 2020 he was appointed by Pope Francis as the new auxiliary bishop of Făgăraș and Alba Iulia and titular bishop of Abula. At the age of 38 he became the youngest Catholic bishop in the world at the time.

The Constitution of the CSI is the key document that governs the administration and management of the church. It comprises 14 chapters detailing rules for the functioning of the Church at every level, from local congregations to the pastorate, dioceses and the Synod. The most important part of the CSI Constitution is "The Governing Principles of the Church" which sets out 21 governing principles on which the other chapters of the Constitution and the rules contained therein rest. While amending any part of the Constitution can be approved by a two-thirds majority of the Synod, amending the Governing Principles requires a three-fourths majority.

Kaan had become a pen-friend of an English Congregationalist and through this contact was attracted to the denomination. In 1952 he commenced studies at Western College, Bristol, and in 1955 he was ordained as a Congregational minister and took up his first pastorate at the Windsor Road Congregational Church in Barry, south Wales. In 1963, he was called to Pilgrim Church in Plymouth, where the congregation were particularly responsive to his writing talents. In 1968, Kaan was sent to Geneva as minister-secretary of the International Congregational Council, to help unite it with the Presbyterian Alliance to form the World Alliance of Reformed Churches.

Bellows was born in Boston, Massachusetts. He graduated at Harvard College in 1832, and at the Harvard Divinity School in 1837, held a brief pastorate (1837-1838) at Mobile, Alabama, and in 1839 became pastor of the First Congregational (Unitarian) church in New York City (afterwards All Souls church), in charge of which he remained until his death. Here Bellows acquired a high reputation as a pulpit orator and lyceum lecturer, and was a recognized leader in the Unitarian Church in America. For many years after 1846 he edited The Christian Inquirer, a Unitarian weekly paper, and he was also for some time an editor of The Christian Examiner.

On 20 September he and his colleagues wrote a letter to John Calvin to justify their proceedings against Knox, and repudiating the charge of too rigorous adherence to the prayer-book; their ceremonies, they pleaded, were really very few, and they went on to attack Knox's Admonition as inflammatory. In February 1555–6 Whitehead resigned his pastorate, being succeeded on 1 March by Robert Horne; the cause is said to have been his disappointment at not being made lecturer in divinity in succession to Bartholomew Traheron. He remained, however, at Frankfurt, sharing a house with Richard Alvey, and signing a letter to Heinrich Bullinger on 27 September 1557.

In 1522 Brenz was threatened with a trial for heresy, but escaped through a call to the pastorate of Schwäbisch Hall. In the spring of 1524 he received a strong ally in his activity as a Reformer in Johann Isenmann, who became pastor of the parish-church at Hall. The feast of corpus Christi was the first to be discarded, and in 1524 the monastery of the Discalced Friars was transformed into a school. In the German Peasants' War, on the other hand, Brenz deprecated the abuse of evangelical liberty by the peasants, pleading for mercy to the conquered and warning the magistracy of their duties.

In 2000, after her husband stepped down from his pastorate, she and her husband began serving as ministers-at-large of Elmbrook Church, allowing them to travel around the world teaching pastors, missionaries, and church leaders. Briscoe has written or co-written over 40 books, ranging in genre and subject matter from scriptural studies and devotionals to poetry and children's books. She serves as a member of the teaching staff of Telling the Truth Ministries, a worldwide media ministry founded by her husband. She is the founder and executive editor of Just Between Us, a Christian women's lifestyle magazine that serves women involved in church ministry.

Samuel Hopkins (the younger) was born in Waterbury, Connecticut, and was named after his uncle, Samuel Hopkins (1693–1755), a minister in the church in West Springfield, Massachusetts. Hopkins graduated from Yale College in 1741, then studied divinity in Northampton, Massachusetts with Jonathan Edwards. He was licensed to preach in 1742, and in December 1743 was ordained pastor of the North Parish of Sheffield (now Great Barrington) in Housatonic, Massachusetts, a small settlement of only 30 families, from 1743 to 1769. Hopkins' theological views were faced with opposition and he was eventually dismissed from the pastorate due to a lack of funds for his support.

Norris is credited with ending the Texas Baptist newspaper war, with moving Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary from Waco to Fort Worth, and with persuading the state legislature to abolish racetrack gambling. In 1909, Norris sold his interest in the Baptist Standard and accepted the pastorate of the First Baptist Church in Fort Worth, where he served for forty-four years until his death. In 1912, Norris was acquitted of arson and perjury charges related to fires that respectively destroyed his church auditorium and severely damaged his home. A second fire razed the structure in 1929, and rebuilding began at the advent of the Great Depression.

The Dean at this time was John Robinson, later to become a controversial Bishop of Woolwich, who had a special concern for church reform. Skelton shared in devising one of the early new ways of celebrating the Eucharist, and also in the re-ordering of the College chapel to make this possible. But his primary responsibility was pastoral work among the undergraduates, and he exercised this more widely in the Cambridge pastorate. Also at Cambridge then, as vicar of Great St Mary's, the university church, was Mervyn Stockwood, who remembered Skelton as the most handsome boy at Blundell's School when he visited the school as its Missioner.

In September 1879 the new building measuring with seating for 700, now St Andrews Uniting Church, was opened at 92 Jetty Road, Glenelg. During his 36-year pastorate Manthorpe returned to England twice; on the first, undertaken in 1875 with his son Charles Edward, the ship's cargo of wool caught fire and the Aurora, on her maiden voyage, had to be abandoned off the Azores and the journey completed on another vessel. His second was undertaken in 1891 as a delegate to the International Council of Congregational Churches in London. Shortly after his return he resigned, leaving in 1892, though he remained the titular pastor until April 1898.

In 1844, he was transferred to the pastorate of St. Joseph's Church in Albany, where he established St. Vincent's Orphan Asylum, erected a convent for the Sisters of Charity, and rebuilt the parish church. He became vicar general of the Diocese of Albany in 1857. On July 7, 1865, Conroy was appointed the second Bishop of Albany by Pope Pius IX. He received his episcopal consecration on the following October 15 from Archbishop John McCloskey, with Bishops John Timon and John Loughlin serving as co-consecrators. During his administration, he greatly increased the number of priests in the diocese, securing the services of the Augustinians and the Conventual Franciscans.

To further that goal, she co-founded the Lehigh Valley Lay Academy, a series of spiritual developmental classes for the ministry and laymen. She published a second book in 1990 entitled Choices and values in a rapidly changing world, which focused on Bible study choices for the modern world. Matz held the position of interim pastor with the Lancaster Moravian Church and in the 1990s, shared the interim pastorate in Bethlehem of East Hills Moravian Church with her husband. She was a vice president of the Moravian National Council of Churches and in 1995 was honored with the John Hus Award for outstanding alumni from the Moravian Theological Seminary.

Asa Mahan graduated from Hamilton College in 1824, and from Andover Theological Seminary in 1827. On November 10, 1829, he was ordained pastor of the Congregational church in Pittsford, New York, and in 1831 he was called to the pastorate of a Presbyterian church in Cincinnati, Ohio. He was a trustee of the new Lane Seminary, the only Lane administrator to vote in favor of the students' right to debate "immmediatism", setting all slaves free immediately, versus colonialism, sending them to Africa. When a majority of Lane's students resigned as a group (the Lane Rebels), to end up at Oberlin a year later (1835), he did as well.

He spent another year at the Church of the Corner-Stone in Newburgh. In 1879, Gray was called to assist an elderly pastor at the small Reformed Episcopal Church in Boston, which prospered after his arrival and grew from a handful of worshipers to a congregation of more than 230. The Boston church also managed to establish three additional churches during Gray's pastorate, all of which failed shortly after his departure.Hannah, 77-91. While in Boston, he also became involved with Adoniram Judson Gordon in the founding of the Boston Bible and Missionary Training School, later Gordon Divinity School, where he was a professor from 1889 to 1904.

After their marriage, Mary Terhune continued writing fiction, publishing a novel a year and monthly episodes of serial works. The Terhunes moved to Newark, New Jersey in February 1859, after the Reverend accepted a pastorate position there to be closer to his aging father. A few years after their move, the Civil War (1861–1865) cut Mary off from her family, including her brothers who fought for the Confederacy (she supported the Union). Though she frequently wrote about the South in her novels both before and after the war, and expressed her great love of her home state, she lived in the North with her husband for most of her life.

A series of short-tenured pastorates followed Wiese's four-year time; the longest, that of Henry Fehlings, ended during the process of regional reorganization following the creation of the Diocese of Columbus. Fehlings' pastorate saw the parish expand outward from its small frame building: a brick addition to the church was constructed in 1865, a nearby store was purchased and converted into premises for the parish school, and a nearby house was purchased and converted into a rectory. By 1880, the parish had reached a membership of approximately seven hundred. In 1886, the present house of worship was constructed on William Street near downtown.

At the age of twenty-four, after a course of theological study, he was invited to take charge of the pulpit of the Universalist Society of Richmond, Virginia, and was ordained as a pastor in 1838. Two years afterward, he moved to Charlestown, Massachusetts, and in 1840 he accepted the pastorate of the School Street Society, in Boston. In 1848 he settled in New York as pastor of the Church of the Divine Paternity, later the Fourth Universalist Society in the City of New York, when the church was located on Broadway. There he served for over thirty years, drawing crowds of almost 2,000 each Sunday.

Sketch of Hanover's second schoolhouse In 1887, land for a new church directly across the road from the new parsonage and frame school was donated by congregation member Henry Krueger, a native of Braunschweig, Germany. Typical of rural Missouri German churches, which rarely were built in a valley bottom, the new church was picturesquely sited in a wooded area at the crest of gently sloping ground. The materials, styling, and meticulous craftsmanship of the church also were characteristic of rural German traditions in the state. The church was built during the pastorate of Otto R. Hueschen, and was completed in 1887 by William Regenhardt, a local builder.

Many editors, staff and moderators have strived to incorporate the high ideals of good journalism. In 1971, another hardcover yearbook was published entitled Terminus. Aside of its intellectual pursuits, the school offered an extracurricular religious program in addition to its regular ethics classes: annual retreats, the Junior Unit Holy Name Society for boys reorganized by Father Krych at the beginning of his pastorate at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel to foster spiritual growth and more frequent reception of the sacraments, the St. Casimir Society (altar boys), St. Theresa's Sodality for girls, and school membership in the CSMC Unit as a part of a Catholic Action program dating back to 1929.

One side panel illustrates St. Stephen's ordination as a deacon, while the other depicts the conversion of St. Paul (who led the crowd in stoning Stephen). Monsignor Langsfeld spent just two and a half years at Saint Stephen Martyr before being called to the pastorate at St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Monsignor Robert Panke was appointed the temporary administrator of the church in June 2009, while continuing to serve as archdiocesan Director of Priest Vocations and Formation. In October 2013, Monsignor Paul M. Dudziak, former pastor at St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church, became parish priest at Saint Stephen Martyr.

Cody often found his view of episcopal authority in conflict with a number of priests of his diocese. He was opposed to some of the decisions of Apostolic Delegate Jean Jadot and led a protest campaign against what he felt was excessive progressivism and radicalism on the part of Jadot. Cody butted heads with Fr George Clements for similar reasons, as local Black Catholics sought more Black representation in the local pastorate, especially at Black parishes. Cody attempted to circumvent requests for Clements to be named pastor of his parish by placing a different Black priest as pastor there, a pastorally inexperienced Fr Lamberts.

Starting in the middle of 1968, Dr. Schmutzler also lectured on both philosophy and on Education at the Theological Seminary in Leipzig. He retired in 1981 from his Dresden pastorate, and was able to relocate to West Berlin. In November 1989 the breach by protestors of the Berlin Wall, and the subsequent discovery that Soviet troops had received no instructions to suppress the rising tide of street protest by force, triggered a succession of events that led to the demise of the German Democratic Republic as a stand- alone state and, formally in October 1990, German reunification. Siegfried Schmutzler was formally rehabilitated, politically, on 9 July 1991.

There was no longer a lack of priests for parish work, and the bishops sought to train up capable and well-educated persons for the pastorate. The religious orders increased so largely under Maria Theresa that enactments were issued in 1770 to check the growth of their numbers. According to a census of this year, there were in Hungary 3570 male religious, including 191 hermits; this number was made by law the maximum which was not to be exceeded. Great stress was also laid upon the development of education, new schools and institutions for education were established, and the queen directed her attention also to advanced instruction.

Now close to his old Alma Mater, he became much more active in college activities and soon became president of the General Alumni Association too, a post that he maintained until he resigned his pastorate. Although Dr. Raymond felt ministry was his true calling, he struggled with a personal decision for several weeks; because he had been offered the position as Union College president. He finally came to a decision and accepted the offer as College President on May 5, 1894. On 8 June 1894 he resigned from both the General Alumni Association President and as Pastor of the Fourth Presbyterian Church and began his Presidency at Union College.

W. Griffith of Holyhead, Rowlands became an independent preacher, and in 1853 entered Bala Congregational College. He went on in 1856 to New College, London; he returned to Bala in 1857 for a year as assistant-tutor, and in 1858 became a member of the Brecon Congregational College, graduating B.A. at London University in 1860. His first pastorate was at Llanbrynmair (1861–6); he was then for four years (1866–70) minister of the English church at Welshpool, and for two (1870–2) of the English church at Carmarthen. From 1872 to 1897 he was one of the tutors of Brecon College, and from 1897 head of the institution.

At the time Bertha's father was the district superintendent. During this pastorate, Lillenas took a two-year course in composition and harmony with Welsh singer and composer Daniel Protheroe (born 5 November 1866; died 25 February 1934) and Adolph Rosenbecker from the Siegel-Myers University Correspondence School of Music in Chicago, Illinois"Haldor Lillenas: 1885-1959", Music Composers Dictionary. Apparently they produced 78rpm records and cylinders and sent them to their students, e.g. Siegel-Myers School of Music - Vocal Record F, Record format: Edison Gold Moulded cylinder, Release date: c. 1906, NPS object catalog number: EDIS 103642 (also known as the University Extension Conservatory).

Dennis J. Bennett (October 28, 1917 – November 1, 1991) was an American Episcopal priest, who, starting in 1960, testified that he had received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Born in England but raised in California, Bennett was a seminal figure in the Charismatic Movement within the Christian church. After proclaiming on April 3, 1960 from the pulpit that he had been baptized in the Holy Spirit, he was asked to resign at St. Mark's Episcopal Church, a 2600-member congregation in Van Nuys, California. Bennett was featured in articles in both Newsweek and Time magazines and rather than subjecting his church to a media frenzy, he did resign his pastorate.

Sawyer was originally pastor of the East Side Christian Church in Portland, Oregon, where until the beginning of the 1920s he built up a strong grouping of Anglo-Israelites with the Anglo-Israel Research Society. He took a leading role in the establishment of the British-Israel-World Federation in London in 1919. He helped draft the federation's constitution and attended the first federation congress in London in 1920 He also spoke to large British-Israel audiences elsewhere in England. Sawyer was in demand as a speaker and in 1921 gave up his pastorate to dedicate himself exclusively to his lectures on the Pacific coast and western Canada, especially in Vancouver.

Dunne furthered his studies at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, from where he obtained a Doctor of Divinity degree in 1890. Following his return to the United States, he received his first pastorate at St. Columbkille Church in Chicago, where he remained for eight years. He was later named pastor of Guardian Angels Parish and chancellor of the Archdiocese of Chicago. On June 30, 1909, Dunne was appointed the second Bishop of Peoria by Pope Pius X. He received his episcopal consecration on the following September 1 from Archbishop Diomede Falconio, O.F.M., with Bishops John Janssen and Peter Muldoon serving as co- consecrators.

Shalders failed to find work in London, and instead accepted work at a high- class drapery establishment in Dover, where he met the woman he was to later marry, Eliza Rooke. He returned to London in August 1846, where he worked for Morrison, Dillon and Co. for two and a half years. While there he attended a YMCA Bible Class at Sergeant's Inn, 49 Fleet Street, under the leadership of Mr. T. H. Tarlton. He joined the local Baptist church under the pastorate of Rev’d John Howard Hinton, who was at the time reputed to be the “greatest and most original thinker in London”.

Under James Montgomery Boice (1968–2000), the congregation continued to be a center of conservative Reformed theology. Tenth membership continued to grow after World War II, and ministry efforts to college students gave the congregation a metropolitan focus. Tenth Church before the removal of the spires in 1912 Under Boice's pastorate, Tenth grew from 350 members to a congregation over 1,200. In 1979, following a denominational ruling by the United Presbyterian Church in the United States of America requiring congregations to elect both men and women to the office in ruling elder, Tenth Presbyterian left the UPCUSA in 1980, joining the more conservative Reformed Presbyterian Church, Evangelical Synod.

Cooke's statue in Belfast Cooke's statue in Belfast On 12 October 1828 a unanimous call had been forwarded to Cooke from the congregation of Mary's Abbey, Dublin. But his place was in Belfast, and to there he moved, to a church specially built for him in May Street, and opened 18 October 1829. From this time to the close of his active pastorate in 1867 his fame as a preacher drew crowds to May Street. The calls upon his pulpit services elsewhere were not infrequent; hence the story, told by Classon Porter, that 'his people once memorialled their presbytery for an occasional hearing of their own minister'.

Botbyl's son, John, married Helyne Requa Smith and became an executive of Glode Requa Enterprises, one of Monsey's important commercial firms. After Botbyl's pastorate, little attention was given to Monsey. Harold Dekker, who would later be called to pastor the Christian Reformed Church of Englewood, ministered in Monsey during the summer of 1940 while still a seminary student.Christian Reformed Church of Englewood, p. 25. A single weekly preaching service was supplied, but no full-time effort was expended until 1948, when the Eastern Home Missionary Board of the Christian Reformed Church decided to place seminarian Dick L. Van Halsema in Monsey for a trial period of 12 weeks.

In June 1890, Father John H. Fleming arrived at St. Mary's and began a 33-year tenure as pastor. During his pastorate the parish the upper church would be completed, the parish cemetery in West Roxbury would be purchased, and the old wooden rectory next to the church would be torn down so a new rectory could be built of Dedham Granite in 1913. On Sundays, however, the quality of his preaching was such that other priests would come to St. Mary's to listen. In the 1920s, with the building work completed, new pastor Father Henry A. Walsh was able to focus on the various groups and societies within the parish.

In July, 1867 he converted to the Baptist denomination and joined the Pilgrim Baptist Church in Greenville County and later that year was licensed to preach. In June 1868 he was ordained and made pastor of Foster Chapel in Spartanburg County fifteen miles from his home. He held the pastorate for eighteen months when he resigned and attended a school in Greenville Court House, continuing to work on Saturday's and during the summers. During the summer of 1873 he took courses in Latin and Algebra and entered the senior preparatory class for South Carolina College,failing to gain entrance to the Freshman class of the school.

During his term, the school's literary society, which had been founded in 1855, was renamed the Phocion Society, and Stonestreet was considered its founder. While president of Gonzaga College, Stonestreet oversaw the establishment and construction of St. Aloysius Church, which would be staffed by Jesuit priests whose service was no longer needed at the diocesan St. Patrick's Church. The church, designed by fellow Jesuit Benedict Sestini, was dedicated in November 1859; at its dedication, Archbishop John Hughes and James Ryder delivered sermons. In 1860, he sent his resignation as president of the school to the Jesuit Superior General, relinquishing the presidency as well as his pastorate of St. Aloysius Church.

He sang with his brothers Bishop C.L. Morton Jr, Bishop James H. Morton, the lesser known, George Morton and became known all over the country. He was also the founder of a young singing group called the Junior Progressives and served as director of the Youth Choir in his father's church. Bishop Morton graduated from the J. C. Patterson Collegiate Institute, then attended St. Clair College, where he excelled in music. In 1972 Morton moved to New Orleans, Louisiana and to the Greater St. Stephen Missionary Baptist Church (now known as Greater St. Stephen Full Gospel Baptist Church) under the pastorate of Reverend Percy Simpson, where he became an assistant pastor.

On a visit to North Dakota for a job interview, Record met Dr. Fulton, a member of the Board of Trustees of Pikeville Collegiate Institute in Pikeville, Kentucky. The ultimate result of that meeting was Record accepting the pastorate of the First Presbyterian Church of Pikeville and principalship of the Pikeville Collegiate Institute in 1899. According to books in the Special Collections Room of the University of Pikeville, Record is best remembered for all of his faith in the institution, and for the growth of Pikeville College and education in Pike County. He is said to have inspired many local youth to become teachers.

His first assignment as a priest was as associate pastor of the cathedral, while also serving as master of ceremonies to Archbishop John J. Swint. In 1963, he was appointed director of vocations, director of the propagation of the faith, and director of the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine for the diocese. In 1966, Father Schmitt was appointed rector of St. Joseph Preparatory Seminary in Parkersburg, where he served until being appointed to his first pastorate at St. Francis of Assisi Parish in St. Albans. There, he was actively involved in the education and the formation of the students and families at the parish school.

In 1969, Proctor was invited by Rutgers University to give a lecture on the one-year anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. Many of the college's administrators were there and were impressed by the address, and they soon offered Proctor the newly established position of Martin Luther King Distinguished Professor of Education. Proctor accepted their offer and held this position until his retirement in 1984. Upon the death of Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. in 1972, Proctor also assumed the pastorate of the 18,000-member Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem. Under the Carter administration, Proctor served as a special adviser on an ethics committee on recombinant DNA research.

In 1967, he began broadcasting the Thru the Bible Radio Network program. In a systematic study of each book of the Bible, McGee took his listeners from Genesis to Revelation in a two-and-a-half-year "Bible bus tour," as he called it. He had earlier preached a "Through the Bible in a Year" series of sermons, each devoted to one chapter of the Bible, at the Church of the Open Door. After retiring from the pastorate in January, 1970, and realizing that two and a half years was not enough time to teach the whole Bible, McGee completed another study of the entire Bible in a five-year period.

He declined in 1725 a call to the neighbouring congregation of Park Lane, but accepted a call (dated 29 December 1727) to the new chapel at Chorley. On 7 May 1731 Bourn was chosen one of the Monday lecturers at Bolton, a post which he held along with his Chorley pastorate. On 19 April 1732 Bourn preached the opening sermon at the New Meeting, which replaced the Lower Meeting, Birmingham, and on 21 and 23 April he was called to be colleague with Thomas Pickard in the joint charge of this congregation and a larger one at Coseley, where he was to settle. He began this ministry on 25 June.

Here he was popular, and soon received a call to the pastorate of the presbyterian congregation at Curriers' Hall, London Wall, which he accepted on 8 May 1691. In this charge he remained till death, having been ‘married’ to his flock by Matthew Mead, as Edmund Calamy puts it. Twice he moved the congregation to larger meeting-houses, in Jewin Street (1692) and Old Jewry (1701), having successively as assistants Timothy Rogers (1658–1728) and Joseph Bennet. Shower was a member of a club of ministers which, for some years from 1692, held weekly meetings at the house of Dr. Upton in Warwick Lane, Calamy being the leading spirit.

However, the directors told him that it was necessary for the community's confidence in the bank that he be its president and he reluctantly took the role on a year to year basis. Four years after the bank was formed he finally resigned as pastor and turned to bank president full time, although he continued to insist that he was still a preacher and he continued to preach. He even held the pastorate at Tabernacle Baptist Church for a short period during his presidency. Pettiford's leadership took influence from his friend, Booker T. Washington, emphasizing self-help and racial solidarity while cultivating the assistance of white leaders who helped train employees and finance the bank.

Reverend Nicholas Martinus Steffens was born in Germany, educated in the Netherlands, and was a missionary to the Jewish population in Istanbul. He served congregations on the Dutch-German border and in the United States, taught at Western Theological Seminary and Dubuque Theological Seminary and was a friend and ally of the theologian-politician Abraham Kuyper. It was surprising to many that a man of his stature accepted the call to a church in a developing and isolated area, but he may have been influenced by the fact that his daughter taught at the Northwestern Classical Academy. His pastorate was short lived and after two years he accepted the call again to teach at Dubuque Seminary.

Towards the end of his course he was offered a missionary position in India by the London Missionary Society. Family circumstances made this impractical, and he opted instead the pastorate of Saltaire, in Yorkshire, where a beautiful new Congregational church had just been completed, with funds provided by Sir Titus Salt. The work was most congenial to him, but his lungs were badly affected by the inclement weather and his doctors, diagnosing tuberculosis, recommended he move to a milder climate. He received an invitation from T. Q. Stow to help found a Congregationalist church in genteel and influential North Adelaide. Accordingly he left England in midwinter, 1859, for South Australia, arriving in April 1859.

When he left Berlin, he received a lifetime pension from the Prussian royal family, and was appointed chaplain to the Prussian king in Neuchâtel. In 1850, he was appointed professor of theology at Neuchâtel, having charge of New Testament Criticism and Exegesis, and later also of Old Testament Introduction. From 1851 to 1866 he also held a pastorate, and he tirelessly set up religious agencies and philanthropic associations. By 1873, the Church of Neuchâtel had lost both its freedom and its orthodoxy, as the state passed a law that made every citizen a member of the church by virtue of his birth, and ministers were declared eligible for office apart from subscription to any creed.

William Cowper, the first pastor of Zoar Chapel, lived at Providence Cottage in Upper Dicker; in the 1970s documents were found there which related to the ministry of James Reed of Chiddingly, a prominent Baptist preacher of the late 18th century. William Vine, the third pastor at Zoar Chapel, was previously linked to the Strict Baptist chapel in Hailsham. Ebenezer Chapel at Bodle Street Green changed from Independent to Strict Baptist in 1864 as a result of its new pastor's involvement with Zoar Chapel: originally an Independent, he was received into the Strict Baptist Church at Lower Dicker and asked for Ebenezer Chapel to realign in the same way before he accepted the pastorate.

Among the educational institutes in Heerlen is Hogeschool Zuyd, which is a University of Applied Sciences with branches in Heerlen, Sittard and Maastricht. Also based in Heerlen is the administrative office of the Open University of the Netherlands (Open Universiteit or OU in Dutch), which is a university for distance learning with tens of thousands of students throughout the Netherlands. Heerlen was also the location of the now-defunct University of Theology and Pastorate (Universiteit van Theologie en Pastoraat or UTP in Dutch), which had to close down due to lack of students. Jokingly it was said that Heerlen was the location of the biggest (OU) and the smallest (UTP) university of the Netherlands.

The purpose of the school, as shown by the composition of the student body, was to provide a classical education to all children in the settlement. By May 1841, Buenger and Fuerbringer had left the settlement to serve as pastors elsewhere, and Brohm and Walther were unable to teach full time due to illness. Later that year, the school was moved to a log cabin in Altenburg; that cabin is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Concordia Log Cabin College. When Brohm accepted a pastorate in New York in May 1843, Gotthold H. Loeber, the pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church in Altenburg, became the head of the school.

Subsequent events, however, showed that Luhr had good reasons on moral grounds for the dismissal but led to a rupture between the pastor and a portion of his people. But it was too late to undo the evil wrought by opposition on the part of some prominent members belonging to St. Boniface's Society. Tn course of the discussion this organization withdrew as a church society, and ever since its withdrawal in the latter part of the 1860s, eked out a precarious existence. Luhr, weary of opposition, resigned the pastorate of St. Peter's and moved to Cincinnati, in January, 1868, where Bishop John Baptist Purcell placed him in charge of a large parish.

First intended to win all these congregations to adopt a unified Protestant confession, the vast Lutheran majority insisted on retaining the Augsburg Confession, thus St. Mary's remained a Lutheran church and congregation, but joined the new umbrella of the Evangelical Church in Prussia in 1821, a regional Protestant church body of united administration but no common confession, comprising mostly Lutheran, but also some Reformed and united Protestant congregations. In 1820, during Bertling's pastorate, long forgotten chests and cabinets in the sacristy were opened and the first medieval garments and liturgical decorations were rediscovered. In the 1830s more historic garments were found. At that time the congregation did not grasp the richness and rarity of these findings.

During the pastorate of Dr. David R. Frazer a proposal to sell the church building and to unite with Calvary Church on Delaware Avenue opposite Tracy Street was considered in 1879, but after some debate, that proposal was rejected. However, by the time that Rev. Samuel S. Mitchell, D.D. began his tenure as pastor, many members had moved from the central part of the city and had thus transferred their membership to other churches which became a cause of real concern. "Old First" Church was by now showing its age, the building, still beautiful and impressive, was now almost sixty-years-old; its many limitations and design problems were soon brought to light.

Waddell was the son of James Waddell of Balquhatston, and was born at Balquhatston House, Slamannan, Stirlingshire on 19 May 1817. His father soon afterwards disposed of the property and removed to Glasgow, and Waddell was educated in the high school and at the university of Glasgow. He was a student of divinity at the time of the disruption of 1843 of the Church of Scotland, and then cast in his lot with the seceders, who afterwards formed the free church of Scotland. Having been licensed as a preacher, in 1843 he was ordained as minister of Rhynie, Aberdeenshire, and in the following year he removed to Girvan, Ayrshire, to the pastorate of a small free-church congregation.

Goulty's pastorate at Union Chapel ended in 1861 with his retirement, although in 1868 he founded a Congregational chapel at Sudeley Place in the Kemptown area of Brighton. (This closed in 1918 and was converted into a cinema by John Leopold Denman and later into a residential building.) He died in Brighton on 18 January 1870 and was buried at the Extra Mural Cemetery. His grave is in the unconsecrated southwest section of the cemetery and is marked by an obelisk- style memorial. His son Horatio Nelson Goulty, who predeceased him, was also active in public life in Brighton, principally as an architect but also as a supporter of hospitals and schools.

Thayer entered Harvard at an early age, but left after the first year and began to teach, at the same time studying divinity. He was ordained in 1832, and from 1833 to 1845 was pastor of the 1st Universalist Society in Lowell, Massachusetts, where his ministry was important in the history of Universalism in New England. During the crusade against Universalism from 1840 to 1842, he established and edited in its defense the Star of Bethlehem, and with his co- worker, Abel C. Thomas, wrote the Lowell Tracts in the same interest. Thayer was called to a pastorate in Brooklyn, New York, in 1845, where he edited the Golden Rule in the interest of the fraternity of Oddfellows.

He continued in abundant and successful labors in this vicinity until July, 1838, when he removed to Denmark, Iowa, where he had two months before gathered the first Congregational Church in that Territory, the Denmark Congregational United Church of Christ. He prosecuted his pioneer work in Denmark and its neighborhood with rare energy and wisdom until October, 1869, when in accordance with his settled intention he retired from active life, at the age of 70. On resigning his pastorate "Father Turner," as he was familiarly called, removed to Oskaloosa, Iowa, where his remaining years were spent in the home of a married daughter. He died in Oskaloosa, December 12, 1885, in his 87th year.

The strict Calvinism that colored the religious life around him was greatly tempered by his intercourse with his cousin, Paul Dewey, who was an able mathematician and a skeptic with regard to the prevailing theology. Dewey's parents had him so thoroughly prepared for College that he entered the sophomore class in Williams College, where he was graduated in 1814. He then returned to Sheffield, where he engaged in teaching, and afterward went to New York, becoming a clerk in a dry goods house. He was graduated at Andover Theological Seminary in 1819, and for eight months was agent for the American education society, having declined an immediate and permanent pastorate on account of his unsettled views regarding theology.

He became a prominent member of the Conservative Party of Prussia. In 1867 Cassel was appointed missionary by the London Society for Promoting Christianity Amongst the Jews (a Jewish Christian missionary society now known as the Church's Ministry Among Jewish People or CMJ), a position which he retained till March 1891. At the same time (1867) Cassel was assigned to the pastorate of the Christuskirche in Berlin, with over a thousand sittings, erected from 1863 to 1864 by the Society on Königgrätzer Straße (renamed as Stresemannstraße, now in Kreuzberg's part of the Friedrichstadt quarter).The Christ Church was destroyed on 3 February 1945 in an American air raid, its successor building was erected on Hornstraße from 1963 to 1964.

Lake Junaluska, NC During his tenure at Wesleyan University, B. T. Roberts excelled, achieving university honors (Marston, 174). While there, he met Daniel Steele, later to become president of Syracuse University, and William C. Kendall, soon to become Roberts' comrade for reform in the Genesee Conference (Ibid) Upon graduation, Roberts was offered the presidency of Wyoming Seminary of Kingston, PA, a secondary institution of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Roberts declined the position, electing instead to enter the pastorate, seeking elders orders in Genesee Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He was admitted to the Conference in 1848 on trial (Ibid.) Roberts' first pastoral appointment was Caryville, New York, followed by Pike, New York.

Bertucci began to follow the Evangelical Christian Church in 1990, when he had "an experience with God at 21 years old." He decided to start a pastorate career a month after his marriage when he received the "call of God" (an expression that indicates when a believer recognizes the task to follow within a church or in your life as a Christian). From 1993, with his wife Rebeca, Bertucci began to preach in squares, parks, and houses. In the 1990s, the Bertucci Barrios family moved to Valencia, where they lived, and simultaneously formed a small evangelical church in the town of Tinaquillo (Cojedes, 48 km southwest of Valencia), which remained for the next five years.

The couple began their first pastorate by founding the Hilltop Community Moravian Church close to Utica, New York. Throughout the next sixteen years, they served together in four congregations in the Palmyra Moravian Church at Cinnaminson, New Jersey, Sharon Moravian Church of Tuscarawas, Ohio, Lititz Moravian Church in Lititz, Pennsylvania and Edgeboro Moravian Church at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. When William was offered the opportunity to become Vice President of Moravian College and Dean of the Moravian Theological Seminary, Matz took the opportunity to attend Seminary training. She was ordained as a minister, the first ordained woman in the Moravian Church in America, on February 16, 1975 and graduated 3 months later with her Master of Divinity degree.

Rev G. Campbell Morgan in 1907 Morgan in later years Reverend Doctor George Campbell Morgan D.D. (9 December 1863 - 16 May 1945) was a British evangelist, preacher, a leading Bible teacher, and a prolific author. A contemporary of Rodney "Gipsy" Smith, Morgan preached his first sermon at age 13. He was the pastor of Westminster Chapel in London from 1904 to 1919, pausing for 14 years to teach at Biola in Los Angeles, and returning to the Chapel from 1933 to 1943 when he handed over the pastorate to the renowned Martyn Lloyd-Jones, after having shared it with him and mentored him for some years previous. From 1911-1914 he was the president of Cheshunt College, Cambridge.

His first pastorate was in Lockport, N. Y., where he had served for six years when called by West Church, whose leaders expressed confidence he would build up the church to its past prosperity by attracting wealthy members. By 1899, the finances of the church were deteriorating, and some leaders, holding him responsible, maneuvered to remove him. An internal battle ensued, which he ultimately won. In 1902, with new financial supporters and its finances said to be strong, the church announced an ambitious plan to build a parish house for institutional work on its 43rd Street side, to modernize the auditorium, and to replace the 42nd Street front with a better-looking one; but nothing came of it.

After months of struggling to make ends meet he received a job offer during September 1932 to pastor three churches, Main Street, Lindale, and Barkers, scattered over thirty miles of countryside in and around the northwest Georgia town of Rome. From his pastorate in Georgia, Ramage moved on to lead congregations in Decatur, Alabama, and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, before he received the call from First Presbyterian of Birmingham in 1946. Ramage was a Moderator of the Alabama Synod of the Presbyterian Church in the United States. He was one of the eight Alabama clergymen to write and sign A Call for Unity criticizing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for demonstrations in response to segregation.

Within a couple of months, he began preaching in Paris, Texas and was apparently ordained to the gospel ministry shortly before his 18th birthday by a church affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention. He served as an Associate Pastor at First Baptist Church in San Diego, Texas after completing his studies at NBTS and by the late 1940s as a minister at First Baptist Church, Hamlin, Texas. Osteen left Hamlin in 1948 to become an itinerant preacher, but within a year he became pastor of Central Baptist Church, Baytown, Texas. During his pastorate of Central Baptist Church, Osteen and his first wife, Emma Jean Shaffer, began to experience marital unrest and subsequently divorced.

In 1869, he received a unanimous invitation to succeed David Rees as pastor of Capel Als. The invitation was accepted, and thus began a connection with Llanelly which remained until his death. A new schoolroom was built early in his pastorate, and in 1875 a group of members were released to form a new church at Tabernacle, towards the cost of which Capel Als contributed a significant sum. Several hundred members transferred from Capel Als to the new church at Tabernacle, and it was hoped that this would ease the over-crowding at Capel Als, which suffered from poor ventilation and was uncomfortable especially when the chapel was full as it was for the Sunday evening service every week.

First Presbyterian Church In 1927, Macartney took up a new pastorate, at the First Presbyterian Church of Pittsburgh. This would be his largest congregation, regularly drawing 1200-1600 worshippers on Sunday mornings and about 900 at the Sunday evening service. He also held a Wednesday evening service, the sermons from which formed the basis of two books he later published: Things Most Surely Believed (1930) and What Jesus Really Taught (1958). In 1930, he founded the Tuesday Noon Club for Businessmen, an interdenominational group of Pittsburgh businessmen who met Tuesdays at noon for lunch, singing, and a brief inspirational message - eventually, the group had over 2000 members, with a regular attendance of over 800.

Finally, he performs a marriage between a Sinclair and a Gresham—and when the secret gets out at a church social (after "Bubba" spikes the church punch with some of his raisin jack), Sam must physically restrain the heads of the families from brawling in the church fellowship hall, and then send everyone home. Not long afterward, the Bishop informs him that he is removed from his pastorate. In one final attempt to save his situation and the community, he persuades his one remaining friend, Attorney Art Shields, to run for mayor as a write-in candidate, with the election two days away. That leads to a confrontation along the main street among three different political parades, including Art's.

Tiele was born at Leiden. He was educated at Amsterdam, first studying at the Athenaeum Illustre, as the communal high school of the capital was then named, and afterwards at the seminary of the Remonstrant Brotherhood. He was destined for the pastorate in his own brotherhood. After steadily declining for a considerable period, this had increased its influence in the second half of the 19th century by widening the tenets of the Dutch Methodists, which had caused many of the liberal clergy among the Lutherans and Calvinists to go over to the Remonstrants. Tiele had liberal religious views himself, which he early enunciated from the pulpit, as Remonstrant pastor of Moordrecht (1853) and at Rotterdam (1856).

As a member of the School Committee in 1885, he claimed the principal of the Avery School ridiculed Catholic students, and several years later had a lengthy debate with a Protestant minister via letters in the Dedham Standard about the "rank misrepresentation of the Catholic Church" in a history book adopted by the School Committee. During Johnson's pastorate, the cornerstone of the present St. Mary's Church church was dedicated on October 17, 1880 by Archbishop John Williams. A crowd of between 4,000 and 5,000 people attended, and special trains were run from Boston and Norwood to accommodate all those who wished to attend. It was one of the largest gatherings in Dedham's history.

Over the span of more than two centuries, the National Presbyterian Church or its antecedents have sponsored, hosted, or participated in a long list of events of historic interest. The church’s library and archives are replete with books, manuscripts, and photographs documenting occasions such as these: :1. Anti- slavery speeches by Frederick Douglass - During the pastorate of Byron Sunderland, Senior Minister at The First Presbyterian Church, the abolitionist Frederick Douglass was looking for a site within the city of Washington to give some speeches regarding the abolitionist movement. When Sunderland heard of the difficulty Douglass had in securing another location for his speech, he asked the Session if the church might host the famous orator.

Porter's first pastorate was in Angleton, Texas and he was ordained in 1974 on the Houston District Church of the Nazarene by General Superintendent Charles H. Strickland. After two and a half years in Angleton Porter was appointed to be a missionary to the Dominican Republic to start the Nazarene work in that country. He was next assigned to San José, Costa Rica, where he was rector of the Nazarene Seminary of the Americas. Porter was elected by the General Board of the Church of the Nazarene to be the regional director for the Church of the Nazarene in the Mexico/Central America Region in 1986, which includes eight nations from Panama to Mexico.

Metters represented the British and Foreign Bible Society and undertook various preaching roles for the Baptist Church. Around November he returned to Perth, where in April 1905 he was appointed editor of the Day Dawn and Baptist Church Messenger, but spent much of that year in Tasmania, and was appointed minister of the Devonport Baptist Church early in 1906. He left for Sydney in March 1907, where he had been appointed to the Granville and Liverpool churches, experimentally made into one circuit, but relinquished the pastorate a year later. He was recognised as being the instigator in 1906 of Federal Congresses of the Baptist Church in Australia, first held in September 1908.

Julie Pennington- Russell began her current pastorate at The First Baptist Church of the City of Washington, D.C. in January, 2016. She currently serves as a member of the advisory board for the religion department of Carson-Newman University and has served as a trustee for Mercer University, member of the board for the Center for Christian Music Studies at Baylor University, and member of the board of directors for the New Evangelical Partnership for the Common Good.

Dr Morrison's chapel, Trevor Chapel, was situated at Trevor Square (formerly Arthur Street), Knightsbridge, Kensington, and was demolished in the 1950s after being taken over for use by Harrods department store. In his early pastorate he had worked as minister at Union Chapel, Sloane Street. However, he resigned and was followed by some of his Independent congregation, who met in Smith & Baber’s floorcloth factory during 1816, until they could complete the building of their own Independent chapel at corner of Arthur Street and Lancelot Place. This opened in December 1816, largely paid for by a member of his congregation, John Souter, who bought a lease for the site of chapel, and several houses, in Trevor Square.

He served the Almshouse in the years 1811 and 1813, and wrote two journals documenting his experience. In 1814 he was called to the pastorate of the Pine Street Church in Philadelphia, where he continued over twenty years. As a friend and confidant of Andrew Jackson, Ely advocated for a "Christian Party" during the 1820s.Dahl, "The Clergyman, the Hussy, and Old Hickory", 141 Around 1834, he began establishing a College and Theological Seminary in Marion County, Missouri, known as Marion College. The financial reverses of 1837 frustrated the undertaking and created trouble for Ely, and he was arrested twice for land deals gone awry, and Curtis Dahl documented Ely's advising role with a political sex scandal (the notorious Peggy Eaton Affair/Petticoat Affair).

Bangs volunteered to be assigned to Canada, as there was a desperate need for volunteers.Carroll, volume I, page 271 The war prevented Bangs from reaching his assignment, however, and Bangs instead was made Presiding Elder of the Croton Circuit in Delaware, while Thomas Burch went to the Montreal Circuit instead.Carroll, volume I, page 272Warriner (1885), 242 In subsequent years, he took a prominent part in the councils of the church. In 1820, he was transferred from a pastorate in New York to become the Senior Book Agent of the Methodist Book Concern. Although the Concern was first founded in 1798 under John Dickins, it was under Bangs's tenure that the establishment was provided with its first press, bindery, official premises, and weekly newspaper.

Burt spent most of the years 1866 and 1867 in travel abroad for his health, visiting Europe, Egypt, and Palestine, where his investigations added much to our knowledge of the localities and sites of places mentioned in the Scriptures. He was at last compelled by failing health to give up his pastorate, and was president of the Ohio Wesleyan Female College from 1868 till 1870, when he was forced to resign this office also, and spent the rest of his life in southern Europe. Here he undertook the care of young ladies who wished to finish their education abroad, spending his winters in Rome, Dresden, or Nice, and making excursions to the principal cities of the continent. He died in Rome, Italy.

Cureton modeled his belief that an effective leader needs both a "baptized heart and a baptized brain", and through the years continued his education by studying at numerous other colleges and universities throughout North Carolina and South Carolina. He was awarded the Doctor of Divinity degree from Morris College, Sumter, South Carolina and Benedict College, Columbia, South Carolina. He began his pastorate in 1953 as pastor of Old Pilgrim Baptist Church, Greenville, South Carolina: New Galilee Baptist Church, Walhala, South Carolina; Rock Hill Baptist Church #2, Greenville, South Carolina; Griffin Ebenezer Baptist Church, Pickens, South Carolina and Gethsemane Baptist Church, Chester, South Carolina. In 1965 he was called to pastor Reedy Fork Baptist Church and Reedy River Baptist Church which was his home church.

In 1985 the ministry of exorcism was first introduced to him when he encountered a woman who was a third generation satanist. From then on he ministered to people with spiritual oppression. He said of exorcisms that, "when one experiences it face-to-face – when one sees evil, smells it, feels it, has things thrown in his face, encounters evil prowling around like a lion – then you know there's a spiritual warfare going on all around us."Baptist Press, 27-year veteran leaving pastorate to launch 'ministry of deliverance', Todd Deaton, October 14, 1998 In 1998, after twenty-seven years as a pastor at Southern Baptist churches in Maryland and South Carolina he left his ministry to become a full-time exorcist and run his deliverance ministry.

About a year later Samuel left and took up a pastorate at Hitchin. He went on to write The Triumph of Christ on the Cross, as God-man over sin and the sinner; to which is prefixed, an account of the early life, conversion, and call to the ministry of the Author in 1857, and was associated for many years with a Strict Baptist cause at Sleaford. The church continued to meet in the loft, said to be infested with pigeons, until George Turner became pastor in 1850 and made plans to build a chapel. The church bought a site on Bear Lane, a 250-capacity chapel was erected, and the first service was held on 9 April 1853 (Good Friday).

While at Warrenton, he was elected to serve as chaplain of the United States House of Representatives. This necessitated his taking a year’s leave of absence from his congregation, and when invited to serve a second years’ term by the House, his congregation declined to permit his continuing leave.Office of the Clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives Chaplains As a result of a vacancy in the post of Chaplain of the Senate, Tustin was invited to serve; a post he then held from 1841 to 1846. In order to accept, he also became associate pastor of the F Street Presbyterian Church, Washington, D.C., an anticendent of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, during the pastorate of James Laurie (pastor 1803-1853).

When the majority of British Congregational and Presbyterian churches merged in 1972, the church became the Roath Park United Reformed Church. Due to the merge, the area now had a number of large UR churches in tight concentration— as well as Roath Park, St Andrew's in Roath and Plasnewydd United Reformed (both of which are around a similar size), and Minster Road United Reformed were far in excess of the number of worshippers in a time when church attendances were falling nationally. Minster Road combined with Star Street URC (which subsequently closed upon the merger). Already struggling, Roath Park was left in pitiful financial grounds after needing to fund major repairs in the 1990s, after which it became a joint pastorate with Minster Road.

The site of the Stroud Green Congregational church at the crossing of Granville Road and Mount View Road, as seen in March 2008A Congregational church was founded to serve Stroud Green, on land at the corner of Mount View Road and Granville Roads, which was acquired with help from the local Park, Highgate, and Tollington Park Congregational chapels. A hall was opened in 1887 and used for worship until the completion of a building in the Decorated style, of red brick faced with terracotta, which in 1893 was to seat 1,000. The pastorate was said to be prosperous and on one Sunday in 1903 there were attendances of 330 in the morning and 231 in the evening. The church was closed and demolished in 1935.

While in the pastorate (1979–1981), Grenz taught courses both at the University of Winnipeg and at Winnipeg Theological Seminary (now Providence University College and Theological Seminary). He served as Professor of Systematic Theology and Christian Ethics at the North American Baptist Seminary, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, from 1981 to 1990. For twelve years (1990–2002), Grenz held the position of Pioneer McDonald Professor of Baptist Heritage, Theology and Ethics at Carey Theological College and at Regent College in Vancouver. After a one-year sojourn as Distinguished Professor of Theology at Baylor University and George W. Truett Theological Seminary in Waco, Texas (2002–2003), he returned to Carey in August 2003 to resume his duties as Pioneer McDonald Professor of Theology.

After serving at St. Mary's Church in Newport, Angell then received his first pastorate at St. John's Church in Providence. From 1968 to 1972, he was assistant chancellor of the Diocese of Providence and secretary to Bishop Russell McVinney. He served as chancellor under Bishop Louis Edward Gelineau from 1972 to 1974 and was raised to the rank of Monsignor in December 1972. He became vicar general of the diocese in August 1974. On August 9, 1974, Angell was appointed Auxiliary Bishop of Providence and Titular Bishop of Septimunicia by Pope Paul VI. He received his episcopal consecration on the following October 7 from Bishop Gelineau, with Archbishop John Francis Whealon and Bishop John Francis Hackett serving as co-consecrators, at the Cathedral of Sts.

After a time preaching in London and Paris, Kirk returned to the United States and took up the pastorate at Mount Vernon which he held for nearly 30 years. He was invited by the American Foreign Christian Union to "proceed to Paris for five months as a special commissioner to attend to the establishment of an American congregation and house of worship" in that city. Dr. Kirk sailed on the steamer "Asia" arriving in Paris February 6, 1857 and during his time there until September was able to secure the charter for the American Church in Paris from Napoleon III and secured the purchase of the first building of the American Church in Paris located at 21 rue de Berri. He returned to Boston in September 1857.

In his History of Salehurst, Leonard Hodson notes that while he was a "somewhat remarkable man", he was more of a "dreamer" than a practical man and his philosophy was that of a "mystical Micawber". Nevertheless, his preaching was influential: its effect on the wife of the Mayor of Rye caused a spiritual conversion which led to her becoming a Baptist and founding the Bethel Strict Baptist Chapel at Rye, which is still in use. George Stedman became the pastor at the Robertsbridge chapel in 1848 and continued until 1881; in 1864, during his pastorate, the chapel became aligned to the Gospel Standard Baptist movement. No other full-time pastor led the chapel after Stedman's death, and it declined in the early 20th century.

Upon his return to the United States in 1903, he served as a teacher at the Josephinum for a year. Scher then went to California due to ill health and was incardinated into the Diocese of Monterey-Los Angeles in October 1904. He served as a curate at St. Vibiana's Cathedral in Los Angeles (1904–05) and at Our Lady of Sorrows Church in Santa Barbara (1905–08) before receiving his first pastorate at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in Montecito in 1908. He then served at St. Brigid Church in Hanford (1911–18) and St. Francis Church in Bakersfield (1918–24), and was transferred to St. Joseph Church in Capitola after requesting a small parish due to a return to ill health.

Martha and James Sherman took over the pastorate in 1935 and their partnership contributed to the chapel's success. Sherman also took a nondenominational approach to burial reform was developed - Abney Park Cemetery. Surrey Chapel - as a result of this 'open door' policy - became a popular London venue for many different religious leaders, societies, and meetings, including some of an avowedly political nature, as well as the site of the first Sunday School in London. So much so, that new premises had to be found to accommodate the growth in services, ragged schools, Sunday schools and the Southwark Mission for the Elevation of the Working Classes - an auxiliary to Surrey Chapel managed by the plain speaking George Murphy for the increasing numbers of industrial poor of the district.

His first ministerial engagement was in the independent congregation at Clapham, where he preached once a fortnight, as assistant to Philip Furneaux. In 1768 he became assistant to Henry Read (1686–1774) in the presbyterian congregation at St Thomas's, Southwark, and succeeded him as pastor in 1774. He moved to the pastorate of the Old Jewry congregation in 1783, and retained this charge till his death, being both morning and afternoon preacher (unusual then, among London presbyterians); he shared also (from 1773) a Sunday-evening lecture at Salters' Hall, and was one of the Tuesday-morning lecturers at Salters' Hall till 1795. A new meeting- house, of octagon form, was erected for him in Jewin Street and opened 10 December 1809.

Born in Oirschot in the Netherlands, Van de Ven was ordained into the priesthood for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New Orleans on May 31, 1890. Van de Ven served as the founding pastor of the parish of Our Lady Help of Christians, which was established on Dec. 7, 1891, in Jennings, Louisiana. He was also responsible for chapels or stations at Lake Arthur, Welsh, Mermentau and Point-aux-Loups (later to be known as Iota, La.), across southwest Louisiana. Father van de Ven’s pastorate in Jennings was brief. In 1892, he was called to Lake Charles, Louisiana, as pastor of the “mother parish,” Immaculate Conception, now the seat of the Diocese of Lake Charles, administering Catholic parishes in much of the southwestern part of the state.

Soon after his graduate studies at the Protestant Regional Seminary in Bangalore, Salins began teaching at the Karnataka Theological College, Mangalore from 1974 onwards and later availed study leave to equip himself with a postgraduate degree in New Testament in 1982.

Salins retired in early 2015 on attaining superannuation but continues to teach at the Seminary in Mangalore.

On 27 April 1843 he was publicly recognised pastor of the independent church of Wortwell-with-Harleston in Norfolk. He soon after began to apply himself to literary work, with the friendship of John Childs, head of the printing firm at Bungay, and acted for a time also as tutor to his grandsons. At the end of 1848 he resigned his pastorate, and, with the view of devoting himself solely to literature, removed to St John's Wood, London, in March 1849. In November 1853 he moved to Bungay to be nearer to his friends the Childs, who were concerned in the production of his larger works, and whom he assisted in many of their undertakings; but in 1858 he returned to the neighbourhood of Hampstead.

From 1798 to 1814, the time of French Revolutionary and Napoleonic French rule, Lettweiler belonged to the Canton of Obermoschel in the Department of Mont-Tonnerre (or Donnersberg in German). After the Congress of Vienna, Lettweiler passed in 1816 to the Rheinkreis (a newly created exclave in the Palatinate) in the Kingdom of Bavaria, where it remained until the end of the Second World War (although Bavaria had in the meantime ceased to be a kingdom). In the course of administrative restructuring in Rhineland- Palatinate, Lettweiler was transferred in 1969 from the Rockenhausen district (which was itself dissolved) to the Bad Kreuznach district. Ecclesiastically, Lettweiler (pastorate of Odernheim/deaconry of Obermoschel) belongs to the Evangelical Church of the Palatinate and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Speyer.

Father John Fleming St Mary's Church and original rectory Father John H. Fleming arrived at St. Mary's in June 1890 and began a 33-year tenure as pastor. During his pastorate the parish the upper church would be completed, the parish cemetery in West Roxbury would be purchased, and the old wooden rectory next to the church would be torn down so a new rectory could be built of Dedham Granite in 1913. On Sundays, however, the quality of his preaching was such that other priests would come to St. Mary's to listen. The rectory was designed by Edward T. P. Graham and the stone came from the same quarry as the church, which had to be reopened for the purpose.

Clapp publicly defended the institution of slavery, but by 1849 he had come to see it as sinful.Slavery; A Sermon, Delivered in the First Congregational Church in New Orleans, April 15, 1838 (1838) He opposed abolitionism, however, on the grounds that he saw no precedent in the New Testament for such political action."" Dictionary of Unitarian and Universalist BiographyAutobiographical Sketches and Recollections, during a thirty-five years' residence in New Orleans (1857), Clapp served on the Board of Trustees of the Medical College of Louisiana, which was to become The Tulane University School of Medicine."" Dictionary of Unitarian and Universalist Biography In 1847, he travelled in Europe, and in 1857, his health failing, and his church having been burned, he resigned his pastorate.

He was born at Aberystwyth, his father being a merchant and a pioneer of Welsh Methodism, and his mother a niece of Thomas Charles of Bala. He was educated in his native town by a noted schoolmaster, John Evans, at Bala College, and at University College, London, where he graduated B.A. in 1847 and M.A. (in mathematics) in 1849. He had already begun to preach, and after an evangelistic tour in South Wales supplied the pulpit of the English presbyterian church at Newtown for six months, and settled as pastor of the bilingual church at Builth in 1851. He returned to this charge after a pastorate at Liverpool (1853–1856), left it again in 1858 for Newtown, and went in May 1859 to the Welsh church at Jewin Crescent, London.

Van Rooyen would serve until his 1985 retirement as chairman of the Ring Mission Committee and from 1975 to 1985 headed the Synod Mission Committee as well. A stalwart ecumenist, he was described by Kerkbode after his June 13, 2002 death as follows: “he played a major role in the Transvaal church—especially in the stormy years after the Cottesloe Consultation. He was for a long time involved with Beyers Naudé’s Christian Institute for Southern Africa, but later went in another direction.” When Naudé lost his pastorate in the Aasvoëlkop Reformed Church over in early November 1963 over his work in the dissident paper Pro Veritate and the Institute, he and his wife, Ilse, were granted leave to stay in the Parkhurst parsonage until the end of the month.

On 24 December 1813, Ann married Joseph Gilbert, an Independent (later Congregational) minister and theologian, and left Ongar for a new home far from her family, at Masborough near Rotherham. A widower of 33, Gilbert had proposed to Ann before he even met her, forming a sound estimate of her character and intelligence from her writings, particularly as a trenchant critic in The Eclectic Review. Gilbert was at the time of their marriage the classics tutor at Rotherham Independent College – the nearest body to a university open to Dissenters at that time – and simultaneously pastor of the Nether Chapel in Sheffield. In 1817, he moved to the pastorate of the Fish Street Chapel in Hull, and then in 1825 to Nottingham, serving in chapels there for the rest of his life.

The church was so comfortable financially that in 1852 the parish replaced 100-year-old structure and enlarged it, using (in part) many of the stones from the first building. Organ music has been part of parish life since the purchase of an organ in 1788, as was a volunteer parish choir, established in the early 19th century Read more here.. Under the leadership of the Reverend Elisha Brooks Joyce, successor of pastorate Alfred Stubbs, a choir of men and boys was established, replacing the paid quartet that had been established in the 1850s. Shortly after he became rector, The Rev. Joyce appointed George Wilmot, Music Supervisor of the New Brunswick Public Schools as a professional chorister in 1885, and in 1894 he established a formally vested men and boys choir.

The new economic and consequently political relations which the old feudal structures were unable to manage and lacked any effective framework, were outside the traditional institution's reach. Foucault notices that the pastorate communities took charge of a whole series of everyday questions and problems concerning material life, property, education of children: this led to a re-emergence of philosophy as the compass for everyday life, in relation to others, in relation to those in authority, to the sovereign, or the feudal lord, and in order to direct one's mind in the right direction, to its salvation, but also to the truth. Philosophy took over on the (until then) religious function of how to conduct oneself. With the advent of the 16th century western society entered the age of forms of conducting, directing, and government.

The connection between the two preachers was soon afterwards severed, though their friendship continued. In the summer of 1830 Scott received an invitation to the pastorate of the Scottish church at Woolwich, but the necessary ordination involved subscription to the Westminster Confession of Faith. This he could not give, and he put his objections in a letter to the moderator of the London presbytery, in which he stated his inability to assent to the doctrine that ‘none are redeemed by Christ but the elect only,’ as well as his conviction that the ‘Sabbath and the Lord's day were not, as stated in the catechism, one ordinance, but two, perfectly distinct, the one Jewish and the other Christian.’ He also mentioned doubts as to the validity of the presbytery's powers in ordination.

During Price's pastorate, large numbers of migrants, notably from the rural counties of Carmarthenshire, Cardiganshire, Pembrokeshire and Breconshire, stimulated the rapid growth of the membership at Siloa to over 600, making it the most numerous church in the valley in terms of membership by the 1860s. In addition to the membership increase as a result of industrial development, numbers received a considerable boost as a result of the Religious Revival of 1849 and Siloa was rebuilt and enlarged in 1855 at a cost of £719. After the further Religious Revival of 1859, there was another boost in membership and the debts were cleared by 1860. Siloa played an important role in the rise of political radicalism in the nineteenth century, a movement that was closely connected with nonconformity.

The building and mission was sold to the City of Buffalo where it remained in operation as a community center before being closed and torn down a few years later. In 1949 because of concerns voiced by parishioners in the main sanctuary that the noise made during the children's services was disturbing worship, the chapel was redesigned, this included reorientation of the chapel chancel, replacing the pews, enclosing the staircase to the sanctuary balcony, changing the lighting fixtures and replacing the glass windows with special dedicated stained glass windows. In 1957, the old Roosevelt organ was also replaced, this time with a new Schlicker organ that was crafted locally in Buffalo. The next major renovation of the Chapel took place in 2004 during the pastorate of the present minister Dr. Geri Lyon.

The Standard (London) 1 Feb 1899, p. 5 In 1867 he came under the influence of Dr. J. M. Macaulay, for many years a minister of the Dutch Reformed Church, New York, who resided in England from 1867 to 1871. He received Berry into the church, and prepared him for college.The Standard (London) 1 Feb 1899, p. 5 At the age of seventeen he entered Airedale College, Bradford, to train for the Congregational ministry, and in 1875 became pastor of St George's Road Congregational church, Bolton. He became widely known as a man of administrative ability, a vigorous platform speaker and an eloquent preacher. In July 1883 he undertook the pastorate of the church at Queen Street, Wolverhampton, with the supervision of nine dependent churches in the neighbourhood.

After twelve months' preparatory training at the Normal College, Swansea, he proceeded in September 1858 to the Memorial College, Brecon, where he remained for four years. He was ordained to the pastorate of Libanus Church, Morriston, on 26 June 1862, and almost immediately he stepped into the first rank of the pulpit orators of Wales. After three years at Morriston (during which time a debt of £2,000 was paid off the chapel) he removed in the autumn of 1865 to Carnarvon to undertake the charge of a comparatively weak church, Salem, formed two or three years previously, and still burdened with a heavy debt. Before he left it, in April 1894, it was, in point of members, the largest belonging to the denomination in North Wales, the chapel having been much enlarged in 1890.

Silvia Schulz-Hauschildt, Himmelpforten – Eine Chronik, Gemeinde Himmelpforten municipality (ed.), Stade: Hansa-Druck Stelzer, 1990, p. 22. Traditionally the parish was very poor, allowing only a small salary for the pastor, which is why at times the pastorate was not staffed. In reaction to Bailiff Heinrich Philip(p) Tiling's earlier criticism (a poor salary would only attract poorly skilled pastors) in 1794 the villages Hammah, Hammahermoor and Mittelsdorf were redistricted from Oldendorf parish to that of Himmelpforten, providing its parish with more parishioners and thus more revenues. By the Peace of Westphalia in 1648 the prince-archiepiscopal elective monarchy had been secularised as the heritable Duchy of Bremen, which was jointly ruled with the new Principality of Verden, as Bremen-Verden, since both imperial fiefs were bestowed on the Swedish crown.

Former pastor Stuart Briscoe was called as senior pastor of Elmbrook in 1970 after a banking career in England and an international preaching ministry under the auspices of the Torchbearers. During his pastorate Elmbrook grew tremendously and planted a number of churches in the local area while Briscoe continued his international teaching ministry. He has written more than 40 books and the media ministry, Telling the Truth, which he founded in 1971, continues to reach out daily around the world. In 2000, after serving for 30 years as Elmbrook's senior pastor, Stuart and his wife, Jill, embarked on new ministries as Elmbrook's Ministers-at-Large, concentrating on reaching out to pastors, missionaries and church leaders all over the world, while maintaining close ties with Elmbrook, their home church.

Though Booth became a prominent Methodist evangelist, he was unhappy that the annual conference of the denomination kept assigning him to a pastorate, the duties of which he had to neglect to respond to the frequent requests that he do evangelistic campaigns. At the Liverpool conference in 1861, after having spent three years at Gateshead, his request to be freed for evangelism full-time was refused yet again, and Booth resigned from the ministry of the Methodist New Connexion. Soon he was barred from campaigning in Methodist congregations, so he became an independent evangelist. His doctrine remained much the same, though; he preached that eternal punishment was the fate of those who do not believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the necessity of repentance from sin, and the promise of holiness.

Enoch Fenwick, S.J. (May 15, 1780 – November 25, 1827) was an American Catholic priest and Jesuit, who ministered throughout Maryland and became the president of Georgetown College. Descending from one of the original Catholic settlers of the British Maryland Province, he studied at Georgetown College in Washington, D.C. Like his brother and future bishop, Benedict Joseph Fenwick, he entered the priesthood, studying at St. Mary's Seminary, before entering the Society of Jesus, which was suppressed at the time. He was made rector of St. Peter's Pro-Cathedral in Baltimore by Archbishop John Carroll, and remained in the position for ten years. Near the end of his pastorate, he was also made vicar general of the Archdiocese of Baltimore, which involved traveling to say Mass in remote parishes throughout rural Maryland.

The minister from 1869 until 1914 was Thomas Johns, a leading figure in Welsh nonconformity, Johns received a unanimous invitation in 1869 to succeed David Rees as pastor of Capel Als. The invitation was accepted, and Johns remained at Capel Als until his death. A new schoolroom was built early in his pastorate, and in 1875 a group of members were released to form a new church at Tabernacle, towards the cost of which Capel Als contributed a significant sum. Several hundred members transferred from Capel Als to the new church at Tabernacle, and it was hoped that this would ease the over-crowding at Capel Als, which suffered from poor ventilation and was uncomfortable especially when the chapel was full as it was for the Sunday evening service every week.

MacCartney continued to read about socialism in subsequent years, until finally deciding to leave his position with the church in June 1899 so as to dedicate all of his effort to the newly formed Social Democratic Party of America. He told a party comrade at the time: > I believe in and love the preaching of the higher life to the people, and > had expected to spend my whole life in doing it. But I have been growing > more and more profoundly interested in the Socialist movement, until I have > finally awakened to a realization that it, and not the Church work, holds > first place in my thoughts and interest. There is but one course open to me > — to resign my pastorate and put in my work where my heart is.

Bartlett was born in North Guilford, New Haven County, Connecticut, the son of Daniel Jr. (1688–1769) and Ann (Collins) (1692–1745) Bartlett. He attended Yale and studied theology, graduating with an M.A. Degree in the Class of 1749. He became a Congregational minister, and soon after he was licensed to preach, the Hartford South Association recommended him to the Kensington Society – the Congregational Church in Farmington, Connecticut – as a pastoral candidate. The church at Farmington declined to offer him the pastorate, but from January to April of 1753, he preached on a trial basis at the Congregational Church of Redding, Fairfield County, Connecticut, to allow the congregation to evaluate his suitability for a position there. Between 1750 and 1753, the Redding church had taken four preachers under consideration as pastoral candidates.

Born on February 28, 1799, Schmucker, the son of the pastor who married Daniel Gotwald and Sussanah Krone, had received his theological training at Princeton Seminary, a Presbyterian school. Six years younger than Daniel Gottwald, this young professor, was, at this point in his life, the best educated Lutheran in America, and when compared to others of his day, was a conservative Lutheran, seeking to establish a seminary when as lately as eight years earlier (1818) the Pennsylvania Ministerium had named a committee of his father, Conrad Jaeger and H. A. Muhlenberg to plan a Union Seminary with the reformed branch of Protestantism. Schmucker also had served a pastorate in Shenandoah County, Virginia. Read A. R. Wentz's Pioneer in Christian Unity–Samuel Simon Schmucker for a sympathetic approach to the enigmatic personality known as S. S. Schmucker.

The Tamil congregation of the Church of Scotland Mission was handed over to them in 1880 and it became the first native Indian Wesleyan Congregation in Secunderabad, which later moved into its new building in Clock Tower. He laid the foundations of missionary work by organising the migrant Telugu Christians as well as new converts in centres like Chilkalguda, Musheerabad, Market Street as part of the main church in Clock tower as Wesley Church pastorate,Secunderabad. The first congregation in Secunderabad being of Tamil origin, the Church of Scotland Mission, Madras continued to provide Pastors to serve in the Clock Tower Church for a couple of decades. In Hyderabad the Missionaries found a Telugu Christian by name Joseph Cornelius in whose house in Boggulagunta, Ramkote Telugu service was held with the help of the Indian Evangelist Benjamin Wesley December 1879.

Recalled to the Providence Diocese, the first assignment of the young clergyman was to Saint Charles' Church at Woonsocket, R.I., and three months afterwards he was transferred to Saint Mary's Church in North Attleboro. Upon the demise of Reverend Father Brady early in 1885, he was selected as the clergyman in the diocese best fitted to assume the burden of completing the erection of Saint Joseph's Church and arranging for the paying off of the large debt that had been necessarily contracted. In the earlier years of his pastorate he was often forced to carry on the work single-handed, owing to the scarcity of priests, but he never faltered or hesitated in his tasks. Boylan's first energies were necessarily directed at completing the preparations for the dedication of the church which took place on Memorial Day of 1885, Saturday, May 30.

When Dr. Anthony Dick accepted the pastorate of Second Presbyterian Church in the summer of 1947, he expressed his desire that the church provide Christian elementary education with a day school. Dr. Dick followed through with his aspirations and opened a new kindergarten in the fall of 1949 at the intersection of Poplar and Goodlett, where school met Monday through Friday and Sunday school on Sunday. An introductory statement sent to church members stated, "We believe that this field (Christian education) offers a real challenge to us and through the medium of this weekday kindergarten, we are preparing to try to use this opportunity for the greatest good to these children, their homes, and to the highest glory of God." The school would later be named ‘Presbyterian Day School,’ known affectionately from its inception as PDS.

Shortly after merger, the newly combined Illinois District in convention voted on a position concerning the status of the Christian day-school teacher, specifically that such teachers hold the office of the ministry.Reasons male teachers of the Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod resign from the teaching ministry, Richard P. Lopez, unpublished Master's thesis, 1973 This doctrinal resolution reflects a Hegelian theological outlook, similar to what became the official doctrine of what is now the multi-state Wisconsin Synod. However, it is at odds with the current doctrinal position of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod which follows Walther's doctrine of the Ministry along Kantian lines of thought that office of the ministry is the parish pastorate. This view persisted as a minority position in the Missouri Synod, for example in Arnold C. Mueller's 1964 book The Ministry of the Lutheran Teacher.

Following graduation, Ward took a position as head resident of Northwestern University Settlement, a settlement house located in Chicago, Illinois, which sought to educate and improve the lives of impoverished immigrant workers of the city's meatpacking district. This settlement house was first launched in 1891, inspired by Hull House, established by Jane Addams and Ellen Gates Starr two years previously. Ward would remain in this position as a resident amongst the urban poor until being forced out by the settlement's governing council due to personal conflicts in the summer of 1900. The English-born Ward gained American citizenship on October 10, 1898, at Cook County Courthouse in Chicago, shortly after beginning his life at Northwestern University Settlement. Also in 1898, Ward received his first posting to a Methodist pastorate as co-pastor of the Wabash Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church.

He was the eldest son of Josiah and Sarah Evans of Pant-yr-onen, near Newcastle Emlyn, Carmarthenshire, where he was born on 5 July 1836. As a boy he witnessed something of the "Rebecca Riots", and went to school at the neighbouring village of Llechryd. He spent several of his earlier years with his grandfather, Jonah Evans, at Pen-yr-Herber, whence, some twenty years later, he adopted his second name. When fourteen years of age, young Evan was apprenticed to a local draper, who was known as a man of literary tastes, and after four years' service in Pontypridd and then at Merthyr, he removed to Liverpool, where in 1857 he commenced to preach in connection with the Welsh congregational church (the Tabernacle), Great Crosshall Street, then under the pastorate of John Thomas (1821–1892).

Although Ketcham did not attend the first meeting of the General Association of Regular Baptist Churches (GARBC) in 1932, he was elected vice-president in 1933 and president in 1934. Ketcham successfully campaigned for a looser fellowship of churches rather than a reestablishment of the boards and agencies of the Northern Baptist Convention.Murdoch, 131-32. He also successfully insisted that membership in the GARBC be open only to churches who first severed their ties with the Convention.Murdoch, 133. By this time Ketcham had assumed the pastorate of the Central Baptist Church of Gary, Indiana, and in 1934 he pulled the church out of the Northern Baptist Convention by emphasizing its ties to both religious and political liberalism.Murdoch, 137-39. Ketcham served as president of the GARBC from 1934 to 1938 and then restructured the organization to place control in a Council of 14.

He has been a co-publisher and member of the editorial team of the periodical AMOS - Kritische Blätter aus dem Ruhrgebiet since 1988. He was head of the social pastorate (church service in the world of work) of Herne Church District from 1989-2006, and treasurer and member of the board of the European Contact Group, the Ecumenical European Network of Church Service in the world of work, based in Prague from 2001-2006. Klute has also co-edited an array of books over social ethics, the relationship of religion to daily work environment, as well as books on current questions over social and job market policy. As social pastor in 1993, Klute belonged to the Herner Bündnis für Arbeit und soziale Gerechtigkeit (since 2004: „Herner Sozialforum“), serving as a spokesman until the end of 2004.

Barrow emigrated to Adelaide, South Australia, in the hope that a change of climate would be beneficial to the health of his invalid wife, arriving in September 1853 on the Hannah Maria with his wife and four children, and obtained a position in the office of the South Australian Register. He also did work on the literary side and, when Andrew Garran went to Sydney, succeeded him as principal leader writer. He began preaching to an Independent congregation which met at "Maesbury House", the residence of John Roberts in Kensington, South Australia. The Clayton Chapel (later Clayton Congregational Church) was built for him, but though an excellent preacher, Barrow was unsure whether his real work lay in church life, and he resigned his pastorate in 1858 to enter the South Australian House of Assembly as the member for East Torrens.

Abraham Wood to the Grand Lake pastorate, and by the mid-twenties the Baptist Church, the so-called "Canning Church" was serving the Baptists of the area. Schools appear to have begun very early in the 19th century; certainly there were at least three schools in the area when the first school inspection was done in 1844. One school was in the vicinity of the corner and the stone church (St James's Anglican) at Lower Jemseg, a second was somewhere near the supposed division between Upper and Lower just below Stuart and Lori Appt's farm, and the third was on the banks of a little brook that runs into Grand Lake between the Walter Gunter and Turner farms. During the two plus centuries since the Loyalists came, the population has remained relatively stable with new arrivals mixing with the older settlers.

During his pastorate, large numbers of migrants, notably from the rural counties of Carmarthenshire, Cardiganshire, Pembrokeshire and Breconshire, stimulated the rapid growth of the membership at Siloa to over 600, making it the most numerous church in the valley in terms of membership by the 1860s. In 1866, the church presented him with an address and a gift of £170, raised solely by members of the church, in recognition of his services. David Price was instrumental in establishing additional chapels at Bethesda, Abernant, where he also served as pastor, and at Cwmbach, and was also involved with the new causes at Aberaman, Mountain Ash and Cwmbach. In contrast to his namesake contemporary among the Baptists of Aberdare, Thomas Price, he work was mainly concentrated in his immediate locality but he established a reputation as an effective leader and powerful preacher.

Gaussen was born at Geneva. His father, Georg Markus Gaussen, a member of the Council of Two Hundred, was descended from an old Languedoc family which had been scattered at the time of the religious persecutions in France. At the close of his university career at Geneva, Louis was in 1816 appointed pastor of the Swiss Reformed Church at Satigny near Geneva, where he formed a close relationship with J. E. Cellérier, who had preceded him in the pastorate, and also with the members of the dissenting congregation at Bourg-de-Four, which, together with the Église du témoignage, had been formed under the influence of the preaching of James and Robert Haldane in 1817. The Swiss revival was distasteful to the pastors of Geneva (Venérable Compagnie des Pasteurs), and on 7 May 1817 they passed an ordinance hostile to it.

Moore arrived in Melbourne in January 1859. He was soon appointed to the important pastorate of St. Francis' Church, Lonsdale Street, in that city, but, owing to failing health, took charge of the less onerous parish of Keilor. There he remained until 1865, when Archdeacon Laurence Sheil having been appointed Bishop of Adelaide, Dr. Moore succeeded him as head of the Ballarat Mission in Victoria, being appointed dean, and accompanying Archbishop James Alipius Goold to Rome in 1873, when Pope Pius IX made him Doctor of Divinity. On the erection of Ballarat into a separate diocese he was appointed Vicar-General, and on the death of Bishop O'Connor, in 1883, the Pope, who had made him one of his domestic prelates and a monsignor in 1881, first named him administrator of the diocese, and then nominated him to the succession.

Edwards grew up in a slave owning family and himself enslaved several black children and adults during his lifetime, including a young teenager named Venus who was kidnapped in Africa and whom he purchased in 1731, a boy named Titus, and a woman named Leah. In a 1741 pamphlet, Edwards defended enslaving people who were debtors, war captives, or were born enslaved in North America, but rejected the trans- Atlantic slave trade. After being dismissed from the pastorate, he ministered to a tribe of Mohicans in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. In 1748, there had come a crisis in his relations with his congregation. The Half-Way Covenant, adopted by the synods of 1657 and 1662, had made baptism alone the condition to the civil privileges of church membership, but not of participation in the sacrament of the Lord's Supper.

Wheelwright's position at the church in Hampton had, as expected, been filled during his absence, but he was quickly called by residents of the neighboring town of Salisbury to be their pastor, and on 9 December 1662, when 70 years old, he was installed there. This became Wheelwright's longest pastorate in his varied life, lasting nearly 17 years. John Wheelwright monument, Colonial Burial Ground, Salisbury, Massachusetts Probably the most noteworthy event of his tenure in Salisbury occurred very late in his life when Major Robert Pike, a layman and prominent member of his church, collided with him during the winter of 1675 to 1676. There may have been multiple reasons for the severe friction between the men, one of them being that Wheelwright was against the Quaker presence in New England, whereas Pike was more tolerant of their evangelism.

According to his obituary, William came to Washington in 1867 and the following year was installed as pastor of the Zion Baptist Church; a different source says that William did not become minister in Charlottesville until 1870. The published history of the First Baptist Church of Charlottesville states that "from the information available it is impossible to establish accurately the dates of all of the eleven pastors of the church between 1863 and 1914." It reports Gibbons' pastorate ended in 1870, after "about two years" of service. However, Isabella's sponsoring agency said in 1874 that it was in serious financial difficulty; they were closing schools and their monthly publication had become yearly. The Delevan Hotel building, housing both Isabella's school and William's church, was condemned and torn down in 1876 and a replacement was not ready until 1884.

Peter St George Vaughan (27 November 1930 – 4 April 2020) was the area Bishop of Ramsbury from 1989 to 1998.Debrett's People of Today 1992 (London, Debrett's) ) Vaughan was educated at Charterhouse School and Selwyn College, Cambridge before beginning his ordained ministry as a curate at Birmingham Parish Church, followed by an appointment as a chaplain to The Oxford Pastorate based at St Aldate's Church, Oxford. He was then the Vicar of Christ Church Galle Face Colombo Sri Lanka from 1967 to 1972 before becoming the Precentor of Holy Trinity Cathedral, Auckland and then Principal of Crowther Hall, the Church Mission Society college at Selly Oak and then (his final appointment before ordination to the episcopate) Archdeacon of Westmorland and Furness.Crockford's clerical directory 1995 (Lambeth, Church House ) In retirement he had continued as an assistant bishop in the Diocese of Gloucester.

Since the edifice had been standing for more than 150 years, efforts were initiated in 2013Words of Life, Community Bible Newsletter of the CSI-Garrison Wesley Church, Volume 1, by Mr. D. Sudesh Kumar, Hon. Secretary in January 2013, p.1. during the then Presbyter-in-charge Pastor, The Reverend S. P. Vidyasagar to raise awareness about the aging rafters and garner majority opinion from the members of the church who stood for restoration of the church in lieu of demolition and reconstruction of a new edifice. The Pastorate Secretary Mr. D. Sudesh Kumar, inspired the church to raise contributions in order to restore the edifice and willing members then responded by making significant contributions to take up the restoration works at a cost of Indian Rupees 10 million (1 crore), entrusting the work to a Tamil Nadu restoration architect M/s.

He served at Two Rivers Baptist Church, in Nashville, Tennessee for twenty-two years and retired on August 3, 2008. The church averaged approximately 2,000 in average weekly attendance over the course of his pastorate. In 1999, he led the Summit for the New Millennium which was designed to coordinate missionary efforts and church support in the 10/40 window. He served as the president of Southern Baptist Pastor's Conference in 2000 and was first Vice President of the Southern Baptist Convention in 2005. During the 2006 Tennessee Baptist Convention, he led a movement amongst Tennessee Baptist to affirm the Baptist Faith and Message 2000 edition when he proposed that all appointees of the Convention’s Committee on Committees and the Convention’s Committee on Boards be asked if they affirmed the Baptist Faith and Message 2000 edition.Tenn.

At the close of the Brooklyn pastorate she went abroad with her husband, and ten months were spent in Ireland, England, and elsewhere in Europe, spending six weeks in each of the cities of London, Paris, Rome, and Berlin, studying in museums, art galleries, and universities. On their return to the U.S., one year was spent in Sands Street Church, Brooklyn, during which time she became officially identified with the Woman's Home Missionary Society, and was put on the committee in charge of the work in Alaska. When her husband became identified with the American University their residence was at Washington, D.C. and she had opportunities to study Alaska in the government departments, which resulted in her creating and becoming the first secretary of the Bureau for Alaska in the Woman's Home Missionary Society. Beiler served in the role for ten years.

Previous sanctuary of First Baptist Church of Bossier City Newer portion of First Baptist Church sanctuary built under the pastorate of Fred L. Lowery Fred Lynn Lowery (born March 16, 1943) is the retired former senior pastor of the First Baptist Church of Bossier City in northwestern Louisiana, whose Sunday sermons under the title The First Word were broadcast between 1983 and 2013 on KTBS-TV, the ABC affiliate in Shreveport, and on several cable television outlets. The broadcasts reached a total weekly audience of 15 million. Lowery announced on May 5, 2013, that he would retire that year from his ministry. On September 8, 2013, the Reverend Bradley Lynn Jurkovich (born 1973), known as Brad Jurkovich, formerly of the Victory Life Baptist Church in Lubbock, Texas, succeeded Lowery as pastor at the Bossier City congregation.

By December he was the president of the Flintshire Conference in which position he served a year. He also served as a counselor in the Presidency of the Welsh Mission from December 1857 to December 1858. In January 1859 he was reassigned to the Nottingham Conference in the British Mission. He also served as president here from that time until March 1860. He then served about a year as pastor of the "pastorate" which consisted of Nottingham and two other conferences, for a total of about 100 Branches. This is a position that has only really existed in mid-19th Century Britain in the history of the LDS Church. In modern usage if pastor is applied to any specific LDS position it would be to the bishops who preside over individual Wards. John emigrated to Utah in 1861. In 1860 he had married Mary Wride in Cardiff.

The location in the East End of the then straggling town of Cleveland displeased the German speaking Catholics on the West Side, who, after St. Peter's had been organized, continued to worship in St. Mary's on the Flats until their own church, at the corner of Jersey and Carroll streets, was ready for occupancy. Pending the completion of their first little church and school building the members of St. Peter's congregation had services for a time in the basement of the Cathedral. In the fall of 1863, Luhr engaged the services of the Brothers of Mary for the boys' school; lay teachers were in charge of the girls, until the advent of the Ladies of the Sacred Heart of Mary, whose services he engaged in September, 1864. Luhr, towards the end of his pastorate, was persecuted by a number of parishioners, who resented the dismissal of a lay teacher.

San Gabriel Mission High School is a Catholic College Preparatory high school, located on the grounds of the historic fourth mission of California, which was founded in 1771 by the Franciscan Padres. The Claretians began administration of the parish in 1908. The idea for the high school began in the mid-1940s and was the “vision of Father J. Nuevo, C.M.F., Mission San Gabriel pastor. With the need for a high school and the support of his parishioners, Father Nuevo had collected a sizable $245,000 toward the realization of the project.” He was transferred in 1948 and his successor, Father Eugene Herran, C.M.F. “only enjoyed a pastorate for a few months, as his success in dealing with the complexities of the new school building project resulted in his election as General Treasurer of the Claretian Fathers.” On January 16, 1949, the groundbreaking ceremonies took place.

He began theological studies while in Andover, and was licensed to preach shortly after his final withdrawal from Bacon Academy. He had married, January 10, 1838, Julia S., daughter of Elisha Avery, of Colchester, and he retained his residence there—engaged in farming, private teaching, and preaching—until January, 1845, when he removed to Norwich, Conn, where he served as teacher in the academy for two terms. While living there he accepted a call to the Congregational Church in North Stonington, Connecticut, over which he was ordained, April 15, 1846. After a pleasant pastorate of six years, he was induced, chiefly for the sake of educational advantages to his children, to accept a thrice-repeated call to the Congregational Church in West Hartford, Conn, where he was installed, July 1, 1852 His service there was terminated by his resignation, April 27, 1875, but his home continued among his people.

Islwyn Ffowc Elis (; 17 November 1924 – 22 January 2004) was one of Wales's most popular Welsh-language writers. Born Islwyn Ffoulkes Ellis in Wrexham and raised in Glyn Ceiriog, Elis was educated at the University of Wales colleges of Bangor and Aberystwyth. During World War II he was a conscientious objector and he began writing poetry and prose, winning the prose medal at the 1951 National Eisteddfod. He became a Presbyterian minister in 1950, and his first pastorate was at Moreia Chapel in Llanfair Caereinion. He translated the Gospel of Matthew into Welsh as Efengyl Mathew - trosiad i gymraeg diweddar, which was published in Caernarfon in 1961. He made his debut as a novelist in 1953 with Cysgod y Cryman (translated into English as Shadow of the Sickle), which would, in 1999, be chosen as the most significant Welsh language book of the 20th century.

Frederick Hosmer, was born in Framingham, Massachusetts, on October 16, 1840, the son of Charles and Susan Hosmer. He graduated from Harvard College in 1862 and from the Harvard Divinity School in 1869. He became a friend of William Gannett when both were students at the Divinity School. In his earlier years he was known as a beloved pastor and an acceptable preacher, his most successful pastorate being that in Cleveland, where he built up a strong and influential church. On October 26, 1869, he was ordained minister of the First Congregational Church (Unitarian) of Northborough, Massachusetts, where he remained for three years. From October 1872 until April 1877, he served as the Minister at the Quincy Unitarian Church in Quincy, IL. He was active not only as an organizer and director of the activities of young people but as a power in liberalizing the thought of the Quincy, IL community.

Herben served as the associate editor of The Epworth Herald from 1890 to 1895, and the assistant editor of The New York Christian Advocate from then to 1904; the same year he was elected editor of the Herald, serving for the next eight years. From 1902 to 1904 he also served as the minister of Morrow Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church in Maplewood, New Jersey, and in 1912 he left editorship to take up the pastorate of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Orange, New Jersey. From January 1916 to 1919, he served at the Methodist Episcopal Church in Westfield, New Jersey, excepting a break during which he was commissioned as a captain in the United States military and ministered to those in France. After his 1919 return to the United States, he became the director of the literature department of the Interchurch World Movement, serving through 1920.

After theological training, he served both Lutherans and Episcopalians for four years in a wide-ranging pastorate in the Shenandoah Valley. During this time he was drawn to in politics, serving in the House of Burgesses in 1774 and as a delegate to the First Virginia Convention. Muhlenberg became famous for his impassioned speeches for the revolutionary cause, helping to raise a regiment in the Shenandoah Valley among its German and Scots-Irish frontier population. He would lead this regiment, the 8th Virginia, as its Colonel in the Continental Army. At the conclusion of his fiery farewell sermon in Woodstock on January 21, 1776, Muhlenberg famously threw off his clerical robes to reveal an officer's uniform beneath and proclaimed, (according to later reports), “in the language of Holy Writ there is a time for all things, a time to preach and a time to pray, but those times have passed away.

Along with William Ridley, Steel was granted government aid for the Maloga mission. Steel was created D.D. by Lafayette College in Pennsylvania, and in 1874 was transferred to the pastorate of St. Stephen's Church, Phillip Street, Sydney. In the same year Steel visited the New Hebrides, in the Dayspring, in order to see the working of the missions, in which he had always taken a deep interest, and published a book on the subject in 1880. Amongst other works, Steel is author of the following: Doing Good, or the Christian in Walks of Usefulness (1858); Samuel the Prophet, and the Lessons of his Life and Times (1860); Lives made Sublime by Faith and Work (1861); Burning and Shining Lights, or Memoirs of Good Ministers of Jesus Christ (1864); The Christian Teacher in Sunday Schools (1867); The Shorter Catechism with Analyses, Illustrations, and Anecdotes (1885); and The Achievements of Youth (1891).

Clee was born in 1888 in Thompsonville, Connecticut to Frederick and Margaret (Kelley) Clee.Schwarz, J.S. Religious Leaders of America (1941). At a young age he was forced by his father's illness to go to Worcester, Massachusetts, to work in a steel mill. He started a boys' club among his fellow mill workers and in 1908 began working for the Young Men's Christian Association in Quincy, Massachusetts. Clee married Katherine Steele on August 9, 1911. Clee educated himself for the ministry while serving as assistant to the pastor of West End Presbyterian Church in New York City from 1918 to 1921. His first pastorate was at the Rutherford Baptist Church in Bergen County, New Jersey, from 1921 to 1926, after which time he became pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church in Newark, New Jersey. He served as pastor at the Newark church for nearly 25 years before retiring in 1950.

In 1808, at the request of Dr. Edward Williams, Principal of Rotherham College, he published his first book, a reply to a work by the Rev. William Bennet, entitled ‘Remarks on a recent Hypothesis respecting the Origin of Moral Evil, in a Series of Letters to the Rev. Dr. Williams, the author of that Hypothesis.’ During his pastorate at Hull he published a ‘Life of Dr. Williams’ (1825). In 1835 he delivered in London the course of Congregational lectures by which he was best known, entitled ‘The Christian Atonement, its Basis, Nature, and Bearings, or the Principle of Substitution illustrated as applied in the Redemption of Man’ (London, 1836). He published also, during his Rotherham tutorship, a sermon on ‘The Power of God in the Soul of Man.’ After his death one of his sons issued ‘Recollections of Discourses’ which he preached in the years of 1848–50, with ‘A Biographical Sketch’ by his widow prefixed (1853).

In December, 1846, he resigned, in order to recruit his health by a Southern residence, and while in Augusta, Ga., was invited to supply temporarily the pulpit of the First Presbyterian Church in that city; his services proved so acceptable that he was called to the pastorate, and he held that position from 1847 to 1854, when he became pastor of the Seventh Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia. In November, 1856, he was installed pastor of the North Reformed Dutch Church, of Albany, N. Y., and after six years of acceptable and useful service there, became pastor of the South Reformed Church in New York City, where he labored until the failure of his health obliged him to offer his resignation, in February, 1881. A few days later he was prostrated by a stroke of paralysis, from the effects of which he never recovered. He died in Montclair, N. J., October 22, 1881, in his 64th year.

After a pastorate of Geelong Presbyterian Church of Eastern Australia (ordained and inducted 21 March 1962) and studies in Philadelphia 1964–66, Harman was Professor of Old Testament at Free Church of Scotland College, Edinburgh, from 1966 to 1974, at Reformed Theological College, Geelong, from 1974 to 1977 and at Presbyterian Theological College, Melbourne, from 1978 until his retirement in 2001. He also served as Principal of PTC from 1982 to 2001, and is currently Research Professor at that institution. He has also lectured at Tyndale University College and Seminary in Toronto, Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, Mississippi and Kosin University in Busan, South Korea. Harman served as Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Eastern Australia in 1978, transferring his ministry to the Presbyterian Church of Australia in 1981, Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Victoria in 1989–90 and Moderator- General of the Presbyterian Church of Australia from 1994 to 1997.

Recent research has demonstrated that the normal right hemisphere of the brain responds to melody holistically, consistent with Gestalt Psychology, whereas the left hemisphere of the brain evaluates melodic passages in a more analytic fashion, similar to the feature-detecting capacity of the left hemisphere's visual field. For instance, Regalski (1977) demonstrated that while listening to the melody of the popular carol "Silent Night", the right hemisphere thinks, "Ah, yes, Silent Night", while the left hemisphere thinks, "two sequences: the first a literal repetition, the second a repetition at different pitch levels—ah, yes, Silent Night by Franz Gruber, typical pastorate folk style." The brain for the most part works well when each hemisphere performs its own function while solving a task or problem; the two hemispheres are quite complementary. However, situations arise when the two modes are in conflict, resulting in one hemisphere interfering with the operation of the other hemisphere.

In 2001 Brown left the pastorate to serve as executive director of Deaconess Children's Services, a United Methodist mission agency, in Everett. In 2003 he was elected as executive director of the Church Council of Greater Seattle, one of the largest regional ecumenical bodies in the U.S. At the Church Council, Brown's work has focused on ending homelessness. He advocated for acceptance of Tent City 4, helping the homeless encampment with legal challenges in several suburban Seattle communities, leading to a successful challenge in the Washington State Supreme Court against the City of Woodinville on behalf of the Northshore United Church of Christ and he has been leader of the legislative advocacy arm of the Committee to End Homelessness in King County. Brown has authored numerous op-ed pieces in support of ending homelessness as well as other topics, such as bringing an end to conflict in the Middle East and (with his former wife) has advocated for high ethical standards in the practice of medicine.

Oxford and Cambridge seemed not an option as, owing to the Test Act, for centuries up to 1828 only Anglicans were allowed to matriculate (Oxford) or graduate (Cambridge). In 1843 Dawson accepted a call to the pastorate of the Baptist church at Rickmansworth. He moved to the rapidly expanding industrial town of Birmingham in 1844 to become minister of the Mount Zion Baptist Chapel where the eloquence and beliefs that the young man expressed soon attracted a large following. The Unitarian Church of the Saviour in Edward Street, Birmingham (1847–1895) However, Dawson's views did not fit the orthodoxy of the Baptist church, so in 1845 he left, followed by much of his congregation, to become minister of the theologically liberal Church of the Saviour, a Unitarian church erected for him by his supporters, where "no pledge was required, of minister or congregation; no form of belief was implied by membership; no difference in creed was allowed to bar union in practical Christian work".

As described by Tchividjian and others to James D. Davis, Religion Editor of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, the process to decide leadership that resulted in the merger of the two congregations was a year-long process managed by "Coral Ridge's 15-member Pulpit Nominating Committee" (Dan Westphal, chair), who evaluated 150-175 candidates nationally and internationally. Coral Ridge is described as having approached Tchividjian three times during the process, beginning in May 2008, and his having stipulated the necessity of a church merger for him to consider that pastorate at Coral Ridge; the final discussion between Tchividjian and Coral Ridge began "just before Christmas [2008]." Westphal announced the committee's selection of Tchividjian, pending congregational approval, to Coral Ridge congregants in a Sunday morning service on January 18, 2009, to "[g]asps, then applause" (as described by Davis of the Sun- Sentinel). The merger of the two congregations was official on Easter Sunday, April 12, 2009.

His name was Charles Haddon Spurgeon, and he quickly became the most popular British preacher of his day. The church at the beginning of Spurgeon's pastorate was situated at New Park Street Chapel, but this soon became so full that services had to be held in hired halls such as the Surrey Gardens Music Hall. During Spurgeon's ministry, it was decided that the church should move permanently to larger premises. The location chosen was the Elephant and Castle, a prominent location near the River Thames in South London, partly because it was thought to be the site of the burning of the Southwark Martyrs. The building with a 6,000-seat auditorium, designed by William Willmer Pocock, was finished in 1861 and dedicated on March 18. Stephen J. Hunt, Handbook of Megachurches, Brill, Netherlands, 2019, p. 50 In 1881, the church had 5,500 members. William Cathcart, The Baptist Encyclopedia - Volume 3, The Baptist Standard Bearer, USA, 2001, p.

Before the building was razed, the bell was presented to a church in Tonawanda, New York, and the front clock face was preserved before the property was sold to the Buffalo Savings Bank. The congregation experienced tremendous growth during these early years, especially during the leadership of its first five pastors; it was in 1852 during the pastorate of Dr. Matthew La Rue Perrine Thompson that congregation first considered moving to a new location.Scan of original 1853 Subscription Document Funding was obtained through a subscription project and by January 1854 over $100,000.00 was raised, by April plans for a new building were selected and bids were advertised. However, no responsible architect or builder was found that would undertake the project, so the plan was abandoned and the funds were returned to the subscribers. By the mid-19th century music played an increasing role in many churches and the decision was made to install an organ in the church.

The former situation had become undesirable, as the adjacent property was in demand for business purposes, and the people were going to the southern part of the city for their homes, "away out on the prairies below Van Buren Street." The building was moved in 1837-38 from its original position on Clark Street, near Lake Street, to the corner of Clark Street and the alley now known as Calhoun Place, south of Washington Street and facing Clark Street, being the south fifty feet of lot 1, in block 56, Original Town of Chicago. During the seven years following and prior to the purchase of the land by the Society, the owners did not demand any rental, as they "regarded the presence of the church a blessing to the whole community." After two years of unceasing labor, Dr. Blatchford's health gave way and he was obliged to terminate his work in Chicago. He was dismissed from the pastorate August 18, 1839, at his own request.

Rev John R Gunn 1951 In the Spring of 1900, following graduation from Mercer, Central Baptist Church of Atlanta extended a call, and this is where he found his beloved wife and life companion, Nellie Higgins. After two years, the Dahlonega Baptist Church (Dahlonega, Georgia) invited him to serve. This assignment was interrupted when an urgent request came from Dr. C. H. S. Jackson, President of Bessie Tift College (Forsyth, Georgia) to raise an endowment fund. Enrolling in the seminary at Louisville was next, after which the Georgia Industrial Home in Macon beckoned Gunn to become their General Manager. Under his leadership at GIH [2] an administrative building called Mumford Hall was constructed. His next pastorate was the Madison Baptist Church of Madison, Georgia, where he served between 1907 and 1911 Bessie Tift College again appealed for his help to raise money, and a fund raising trip to New York City was arranged.

In 1541 he was made administrator of the Martinianum, a foundation for needy students, and at the same time lectured on philosophy. In 1549 he accepted the pastorate of Derendingen near Tübingen, and in 1551 he was called as professor to Tübingen. On 2 June 1557 he examined and signed, together with other theologians, the Confessio Virtembergica, which had been prepared for the Council of Trent, and in the month of August, together with Johannes Brenz's friend Johann Isenmann, he went to Langensalza and afterward to Saxony to come to an understanding with the theologians and councilors of the Elector Maurice concerning the Württemberg Confession as compared with the Saxon, which bad also been prepared for the Council of Trent. In November 1551, in company with Luther's former steward, Jodocus Neuheller, pastor at Entringen, he was sent as theological adviser of the Württemberg delegates to Trent, where they took notes of the disputations.

In almost all cases, though, the selection of a minister for the congregation is, in keeping with the Reformed tradition of the "priesthood of all believers", vested in a congregational meeting, held usually after a special ad hoc committee searches on the congregation's behalf for a candidate. Members of the congregation vote for or against the committee's recommended candidate for the pastorate, usually immediately after the candidate has preached a "trial sermon;" candidates are usually presented one at a time and not as a field of several to be selected from. Typically the candidate must secure anywhere from 60 to 90 percent affirmative votes from the membership before the congregation issues a formal call to the candidate; this depends on the provisions in the congregation's particular constitution and/or by-laws. Local churches have, in addition to the freedom to hire ministers and lay staff, the sole power to dismiss them also.

During this era, the operations of both merchant and naval fleets as well as construction of naval vessels, relied heavily on Finnish know-how, seamen and officers. At the time, Russia was a relatively young naval power, gaining gradually access to the Baltic Sea only after the city of Saint Petersburg was founded on its coast in 1703, becoming officially part of Russia only at the end of the Great Northern War (1700–1721) in 1721.Maria Jarlsdotter Enckell, Scandinavian Immigration to Russian Alaska, 1800–1867 . p. 108. In 1839, Sitka Lutheran Church, the first Protestant congregation on the west coast of the Americas and the first Lutheran congregation on the entire Pacific Rim was founded in Sitka, Alaska, by Finns who worked for the Russian-American Company. From the start, in 1840–1865, three consecutive Finnish pastors served this pastorate: Uno Cygnaeus (1840–1845), Gabriel Plathan (1845–1852) and Georg Gustaf Winter (1852–1865).

In 1933–34 Dibelius served the pastorate at San Remo, Italy. After his return to Germany (July 1934) and after – from May to October 1934 – the intra-church opposition, the so-called Confessing Church, had built up its own organisational structures, circumventing the officially recognised bodies of the Old-Prussian church and the newly established Nazi-submissive German Evangelical Church, Dibelius served again as general superintendent in the Kurmark – ignoring his official furlough – accepted only by those congregations whose presbyteries rejected the Nazi adulterated official Old-Prussian church. From 1934 to 1945 he was a member of the March of Brandenburg provincial Councils of Brethren, the leading bodies established by the Confessing Church on all levels, such as deaneries, ecclesiastical provinces and for the overall Old-Prussian church as well as in other Nazi-subjected Protestant church bodies in Germany and on the Reich's level dubbing the position of Reich's Bishop Müller by the Reich's Council of Brethren.

Born to Jackson Burgess and Mary Hanna McMichael, Thomas Hanna McMichael was born on July 7, 1863, at Bellbrook, Greene County, Ohio, and moved to Monmouth, Illinois with his parents in 1878 when his father began his duties as the second president of Monmouth College. Thomas enrolled in Monmouth College in 1882 and received the Bachelor of Arts degree with honors in 1886. He also received the Master of Arts from Monmouth College in 1889. He went on to earn the B.D. degree from the United Presbyterian seminary in Xenia, Ohio, in 1890. He received the D.D. degree from Westminster College in Pennsylvania in 1903. After a brief pastorate at Spring Hill, Indiana, he became the pastor of a large and influential church, the First United Presbyterian Church in Cleveland, Ohio (1892), which would later be known as the Old Stone Church, and remained there until elected president of Monmouth College (Illinois) in 1903, a position which he held until 1936.

In 1952, McGee was asked by evangelist and university president John Brown, owner of KGER radio station (now KLTX) in Long Beach, California, to take over a radio program (started in 1950 by fellow young-Earth creationist Harry Rimmer, whom McGee admired) to which listeners could send in questions that were answered on the air. By 1955, McGee had a well-publicized break with the Presbyterian Church, in which he claimed the church's "liberal leadership [had] taken over the machinery of the presbytery with a boldness and ruthlessness that is appalling." This Fundamentalist–Modernist controversy within the Presbyterian church had been growing since the 1920s. It was during this time that a large number of nondenominational evangelical Protestant churches, such as the Moody Church in Chicago, had begun to appear across the U.S. After retiring from the pastorate at the Church of the Open Door in 1970, McGee devoted his remaining years to the Thru the Bible Radio Network.

In 2008 Hitchiner became the Chaplain's Assistant at St Peters College, Oxford and at the Oxford Pastorate chaplaincy where she reinvented the Oxford University Socratic Society, debating philosophy and theology with those of different beliefs. Hitchiner served her curacy at St John's Church Ealing from 2009 to 2012, during which time she led the church's Sunday evening Cafe Church congregation with a special focus on those who did not feel comfortable in mainstream church settings. She was involved in coordinating the local community response to the London riots in 2011, and a year later led the call towards forgiveness and reconciliation. She developed an unlikely friendship with Richard Dawkins following jointly sitting with him as the subject for the semi-final of the Sky Arts National Portrait of the Year competition which was aired in December 2014 Hitchiner contributed a chapter on mission to a book celebrating the voices of ordained women who had become national experts Up until April 2019 she was Coordinating Anglican Chaplain and Interfaith Adviser at Brunel University.

In 1919, Ketcham became pastor of the First Baptist Church of Butler, Pennsylvania, where he became more active in defense of orthodox Christianity especially by opposing liberal tendencies in the Northern Baptist Convention. When the Convention launched a "New World Movement" to create a "civilization Christian in spirit," Ketcham wrote a pamphlet with the unpromising title, "A Statement of the First Baptist Church Butler, Pennsylvania, with Reference to The New World Movement and the $100,000,000 Drive (1919)." Soon after the pamphlet was published, Ketcham received a visit from officers of the Pittsburgh Baptist Association, who made it clear that if Ketcham did not retract the pamphlet, he would never get another pastorate in the Northern Baptist Convention; one member of the committee shook Ketcham by the collar and "roared that Ketchan owed God an apology."Joel A. Carpenter, Revive Us Again: The Reawakening of American Fundamentalism (New York: Oxford University Press, 1997), 51. Leading fundamentalist William Bell Riley, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Minneapolis, saw the pamphlet and ordered 20,000 copies.

In order to address the problem of how to give pastoral care to such a large congregation as well as provide a means for new people to become a part of the church, HTB uses the Pastorate model. Pastorates consist of 20–50 people who, through meeting at least once a fortnight, can form strong friendships and support each other in care as well as developing individual gifts and ministries. HTB has quite a transient congregation caused in part by its location in London, a city which itself has a transient population, that HTB attracts a large student population often only resident in London during their studies, and that the Alpha course brings in a number of people who are either visiting the home of Alpha or have completed the course and then quickly move on to other churches or ministries. In order to reach out to this substantial number of visitors, HTB is somewhat extroverted in welcoming newcomers and providing various means for them to get involved.

Hinitt's commencement sermon that year reflected this reality: "To the Class of 1918, divided on this day, with so many of your men absent in service, I have but this word to say: Fear God and serve your country!" He resigned the presidency of W&J; on June 30, 1918 to accept the pastorate of the First Presbyterian Church of Indiana, Pennsylvania. William E. Slemmons served as President Pro Tem. of Washington & Jefferson College from May 1918 to June 1919. He served as a trustee of the Board of Trustees for 38 years and on W&J;'s faculty as adjunct professor of Biblical Literature from 1919 to 1935. He retired from full-time teaching in 1935, but he continued teaching two philosophy courses until his death on September 4, 1939 at the age of 83. Samuel Charles Black was elected President on April 18, 1919 and was inaugurated October 22, 1919. By the spring of 1920, the college had the largest enrollment in any one year during its history, increasing from the low point during the World War I years to 368 men freshmen.

He entered Columbia College in 1826, and removed to Yale College the latter part of Sophomore year, where he graduate in 1830. He studied law for one year at Yale Law School, but under convictions of duty then joined the Yale Divinity School, where he remained for part of a year. He also studied for part of a year at the Andover Theological Seminary, and afterwards removed to Princeton Seminary, where he took the full three years' course In December, 1835, while employed as Assistant Secretary of the Board of Domestic Missions of the Presbyterian Church, he was ordained as an evangelist by the Presbytery of New Brunswick; and on April 11, 1836, he was called to the pastorate of the 1st Presbyterian Church in Baltimore, Md. He accepted the call, and was installed September 15, 1836, and in this charge he continued until his death, although relieved in 1875 at his own request from active duty. In 1848 he received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from Hanover College, Indiana; and in 1875 that of Doctor of Laws from the College of New Jersey, of which he was a Trustee from 1860 to 1872.

He became pastor in 1866 of the Westminster Presbyterian Church (after 1868 the Fourth Church) in Chicago, which was destroyed in the fire of 1871; he then preached in McVicker's Theatre until 1874, when a new building was completed. In April 1874, he was tried before the Presbytery of Chicago on charges of heresy preferred by Dr Francis Landey Patton, who argued that Professor Swing preached that men were saved by works, that he held a "modal" Trinity, that he did not believe in plenary inspiration, that he unduly countenanced Unitarianism, etc. The presbytery acquitted Dr. Swing, who resigned from the presbytery when he learned that the case was to be appealed to the synod. As an action was taken against the church, of which he had remained pastor, he resigned the pastorate, again leased McVicker's theatre (and after 1880 leased Central Music Hall, which was built for the purpose), and in 1875 founded the Central Church, to which many of his former parishioners followed him, and in which he built up a large Sunday school, and established a kindergarten, industrial schools, and other charities.

His first pastorate was at New Whatcom, now Bellingham, Washington. From there he moved to Red Wing Minnesota. Prior to becoming president at Pacific Lutheran College (PLC), he served as pastor of Our Saviours’ Lutheran Church in Tacoma. He was actively connected with school work the greater part of his ministry. He was a member of the board of trustees for the Ladies’ Seminary at Red Wing, Minnesota; a longtime member of the board of trustees at Pacific Lutheran Academy in Parkland and later a member of the board of trustees for Pacific Lutheran College. For three years, he was the president of the National Association of Young People’s Societies in the former Norwegian Synod of the American Evangelical Lutheran Church. During president Ordal’s tenure at PLC, collegiate status was achieved and an elaborate committee system was established, with nine committees for the ten full-time faculty members. A system of rules governing appointments, salaries and promotions were also established and the Normal department was accredited by the state. The first endowment drive was launched during Ordal’s time with a goal of raising $250,000 and by 1927 that goal was reached.

Interior of the Rosary Chapel, 2017 It was originally established as "The Mission of Our Lady of the Assumption among the Hurons in Detroit" in 1728 by the Jesuit missionary Fr. Armand De La Richardie, S.J. In 1765, a church was erected for the Hurons and some sixty French settler families. Assumption became an official, canonical institution in 1767 under its first pastor, Fr. Pierre Potier S.J. who remained at his post until his death in 1781. That year, the bishop of Quebec sent his Vicar-General, Fr. Francois-Xavier Hubert to be pastor of Assumption parish. Fr. Hubert initiated plans to build a rectory and a school. A shortage of land for this project was rectified by a donation of land from the Hurons on March 6, 1782. The rectory was built in 1785 and in 1786 as coadjutor to the bishop of Quebec, Fr. Hubert, who had since relocated for his new post, contributed to the building of a new church and sent two women from Quebec to establish a school. The new church opened in 1787 under Fr. François-Xavier Dufaux, who had replaced the interim pastor, Fr. Pierre Fréchette in 1786. In 1796, Fr. Jean-Baptiste Marchand began his thirty-year pastorate of Assumption parish.

Graham began his ministry as pastor of East Side Baptist in Cross Plains in Callahan County, Texas (1970–1971). Following his associate pastorate at Sagamore Hill Baptist Church (1972–1975), he went on to pastor First Baptist Church in Hobart, Oklahoma (1975–1978), First Baptist Church in Duncan, Oklahoma (1978–1981), and First Baptist Church in West Palm Beach, Florida (1981–1989). In 1989, Prestonwood Baptist Church, then a Dallas congregation with a membership of approximately 11,000, called Graham as pastor after its founding pastor, Bill Weber, admitted to an extramarital affair and resignedParmley, Helen, Prestonwood Pastor Resigns, Dallas Morning News, 1988-10-09, but was actively seeking to regain his position as pastor, and failing that had convinced several of the church's wealthier members -- including cosmetics magnate Mary Kay Ash -- to support a new church he was starting.. As the church family continued to increase by some 2,000 members annually, and with no ability to expand at the original Far North Dallas location, leaders and members prayed, investigated, deliberated and finally, in 1999 built a new 7,500-seat worship facility, school and ministry complex on in west Plano. In 2006, Prestonwood opened its second campus in Prosper, near U.S. Highway 380 and Dallas Parkway.
