10 ministers ordained but only later converted

This list was prompted by this week's lecture. It can probably be improved and may need correction but I think it's right.

3. John Wesley 1703-1791
4. William Grimshaw 1708-1763

Evangelical Library 2024

For the first time in a long time, it was possible to hold an in person meeting at the Library in Bounds Green last Monday (June 3). The lecturer was David Campbell, a Baptist pastor in Preston. He spoke on Alexander Stewart of Moulin 1764-1821. The only disappointment was that only 15 people were there to hear the lecture. Stewart entered the ministry as an unbeliever but was not only converted by the grace of God but saw revivial in Moulin. David Campbell drew attention to this and urged us to pray for unconverted ministers and befriend them where possible. He also pointed out how it was the fortitude in suffering of the sister of Stewart's friend David Black that was a catalyst for Stewart's conversion. Hopefully, the lecture will appear on the Library's YouTube channel soon and a written version will be published in In Writing next Autumn.

The Banner of Truth are soon to publish the biography of Stewart by James Sievewright. See here.

Evangelical Library Annual Lecture 2024

We remind readers that there will be an in person lecture at the Library on Monday, June 3 at 6.30 pm. This is our Annual Lecture. The lecturer will be David Campbell (Preston) and he will be speaking on Alexander Stewart of Moulin 1764-1821. The lecture title is From darkness to light. (We may have caused confusion by previously giving the dates of his father who had the same name and outlived his son, Alexander Stewart of Cromarty). Note - there is unlikely to be a live zoom service.
