Michael Russell (1781–1848) was the first Bishop of Glasgow and Galloway〔”Scottish Episcopal Clergy, 1689-2000” Bertie, D.M: Edinburgh T & T Clark ISBN 0-567-08746-8〕 from 1837 to his death in 1848.〔(Electric Scotland )〕〔"The Continuing City: a sermon preached after the funeral of the Right Rev. Michael Russell, Bishop of Glasgow and Galloway (Edinburgh, 1848) > British Library website accessed 21:53 20 December 2010〕 ==Life== He was the eldest son of John Russell of Edinburgh. Matriculating at the University of Glasgow November 1800, he graduated M.A. in 1806. He was then appointed second master of Stirling grammar school; but, having become a convert to the Scottish Episcopal Church, he resigned the post and opened a school of his own. In 1808 Russell was admitted into deacon's orders, and ordained to the charge of a small congregation in Alloa; he continued with his school until his appointment in the autumn of the following year to the charge of St. James's Chapel, Leith. In 1831 he was made dean of the diocese of Edinburgh, and on 8 October 1837 he was ordained bishop of Glasgow and Galloway, on the separation of the diocese from Edinburgh and St. Andrews. The religious opinions of Russell were liberal enough to cause his orthodoxy to be questioned.〔 Russell was active on behalf of the bill passed in 1840 removing religious disabilities from Scottish episcopalians. In 1820 he received the degree of LL.D. from the University of Glasgow, and in 1842 the University of Oxford conferred on him the diploma degree of D.C.L., for which he was admitted a member of St John's College.〔 Russell died suddenly on 2 April 1848, and was buried at Restalrig. A marble slab was erected to his memory in St. James's episcopal chapel, Leith.〔 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「Michael Russell (bishop of Glasgow and Galloway)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
