Llewelyn David Bevan (11 September 1842 – 19 July 1918) was a Congregational minister and academic active in Australia.〔Gunson, Niel; '(Bevan, Llewelyn David (1842 - 1918) )', ''Australian Dictionary of Biography'', Volume 7, MUP, 1979, pp 283-285.〕 ==Early life== Bevan was born in Llanelly, Carmarthen, Wales, son of Hopkin Bevan, actuary, and his wife Eliza, ''née'' Davies, a Congregational minister's daughter.〔 Bevan had plans for a legal career, but was converted by the preaching of Henry Grattan Guinness. Bevan studied at New College, then at the University of London (B.A., 1862 and LL.B. 1865) . Ordained in 1865, Bevan assisted Thomas Binney at King's Weigh House Chapel; then 1869-75 was minister of Tottenham Court Chapel 〔 and the building, one of the largest churches in London, was often crowded.〔 〕 Bevan married Louisa Jane, ''née'' Willett in Southampton on 2 April 1870. In 1873 Bevan won the Marylebone seat on the London School Board supporting 'free, compulsory and secular' education.〔 In 1874 Bevan visited the United States of America and ministered at the Central Church, Brooklyn for two months. Bevan subsequently received offers from several churches including the Collins Street Independent Church, Melbourne, Australia, before accepting to minister at the Brick Presbyterian Church (New York City) in 1876. Bevan became moderator of the New York Presbytery in 1880. Awarded a doctorate by Princeton University in 1882, Bevan moved back to London where he was urged to stand for Parliament. Partly because his family's health often suffered during the winter months,〔 Bevan decided instead to accept a fourth offer to minister at the Collins Street Independent Church.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Llewelyn David Bevan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
