John Comper
Reverend John Comper (1823–1903) was a Priest of the Episcopal Church in Scotland who dedicated his life to helping the street children and prostitutes of Victorian Aberdeen. In 2003 Father Comper was declared a 'Hero of the Faith' by the Scottish Episcopal Church - the equivalent of a saint and the greatest honour the Church can bestow.〔(''The Scotsman'' ) "Episcopalian cleric honoured" Tuesday 8 April 2003〕 In the Calendar of the Scottish Episcopal Church he is remembered on 27 July, the day of his death.
==Origins==

John Comper was born in Nutbourne, Pulborough in Sussex, on 1 October 1823, where his father farmed a smallholding. John was the youngest of a family of seven.
The family name “Comper” is a French surname possibly from Brittany; the Comper forbears being probably sixteenth century Huguenot refugees though this is disputed by Anthony Symondson〔(Sir Ninian Comper )〕 who argues the family is more likely of Norman origin.
From his earliest years he was very interested in matters spiritual, and fascinated by the liturgy, which he studied throughout his life. At the age of 24 he completed training as a student teacher at a college in Chichester. He was aware that without a university degree he would not be accepted for the priesthood in England, and therefore he turned his attention to Scotland, where the Scottish Episcopal Church was in need of clergy.
