Rev. Orange Scott (February 13, 1800 - July 31, 1847), was a Methodist Episcopal minister, Presiding Elder, and District President. He presided over the convention that organized the Wesleyan Methodist Connexion in 1843. He was among the founders of what became known as the Wesleyan Methodist Church. He was born in Brookfield, Vermont, the eldest of eight children. The family was poor, and Orange was working full-time when he was twelve. "Orange Scott became convinced that the holy hearts should result in holy lives and that holy men should seek to bring an end to social evils such as slavery and intemperance." == Ministry == He was converted to Christ (1820) and became a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He soon began to preach weekly or fortnightly. About six months after his conversion, he was appointed a class leader. In 1822, the New England Conference received him as a minister. He became Presiding Elder of Springfield District in 1830, and was elected as delegate to General Conference (1831). The Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church appointed him to be President of the Providence District for two years (1834 and 1835). 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「Orange Scott」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
