Gordon Forlong
Gordon Forlong (14 February 1819 – 30 August 1908) was a Scottish-born New Zealand evangelist. He was also a lawyer, businessman, and farmer. He was born in Pollok Castle, Renfrewshire, Scotland on 14 February 1819.
== Early life==
The son of William Forlong, a merchant, Forlong was educated at Glasgow Grammar School. He went on to study at the University of Glasgow and the University of Edinburgh, where he graduated in Law. He was admitted to the Bar around 1842 and practiced as an advocate in Aberdeen.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gospelhall.org/index.php/bible-teaching/138-history/brethren-biographies/3113-biography-32-gordon-forlong )〕
Forlong’s education had made him a believer in Deism, and he had earlier resisted the wishes of his great-uncle, Sir Robert Pollock, to become a minister in the Episcopal Church of Scotland, the Scottish branch of the Anglican Communion. While in London, however, he was converted to Evangelical Christianity by a fellow-businessman. He began itinerating as a lay preacher and evangelist. He returned to Scotland around 1859-1860 and played a prominent role in the Second Great Awakening which broke out in Scotland around that time.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.teara.govt.nz/en/biographies/2f14/forlong-gordon )〕
Forlong moved back to London around 1863,〔 and around 1868 he founded Talbot Tabernacle in Notting Hill, where he remained until emigrating to New Zealand in 1876.〔 A noted member of the congregation was Lord Congleton.〔
