Ebenezer Erskine

Ebenezer Erskine (22 June 1680 - 2 June 1754) was a Scottish minister whose actions led to the establishment of the Secession Church (formed of dissenters from the Church of Scotland). Erskine, Ebenezer (1680–1754), leader of the most important 18th-cent. secession from the Church of Scotland. Minister at Portmoak from 1703 and at Stirling from 1731, he was a notable preacher. A sermon which he preached in 1732 upholding the rights of ordinary Church members in ministerial appointments brought him into conflict with the General Assembly. He and three other ministers felt obliged to ‘make a secession’ from the ‘prevailing party’ in the Established Church, forming an ‘associate presbytery’ in 1733. In 1740 he was formally deposed from his charge. Despite internal divisions, the Seceders soon became a powerful Evangelical force in Scotland.
