Westminster Chapel is an evangelical Christian church in central London, established in 1840. The church is situated in Buckingham Gate, just off Victoria Street and close to Buckingham Palace. It is at the point where Petty France meets Buckingham Gate and is on the corner of Buckingham Gate and Castle Lane. The church has been led by several notable pastors, including Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1939–68) and R. T. Kendall (1977–2002). The current senior pastor is Greg Haslam.〔(Greg Haslam ), Westminster Chapel website〕 ==History== The chapel's own website summarises the background of the area:〔(Our History )〕 Westminster Chapel has had four particularly well-known pastors: the Revd Samuel Martin (1842–78), G. Campbell Morgan (1904–17 and 1933–43), D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1939–68) and R. T. Kendall (1977–2002). The current building, seating around 1500, was opened on 6 July 1865. The church was founded by Congregationalists, and was pastored by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones from 1939 to 1968. During Lloyd-Jones' ministry the church resigned from the Congregational Union and became a member of the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches and of an Evangelical Fellowship of Congregational Churches. Prominent among the past deacons at Westminster Chapel have been Sir Frederick Catherwood (born 1925) (son-in-law to Lloyd-Jones) and M. J. "Monty" Micklewright (1897-1994)〔Montague James Micklewright; http://www.keithshistories.com/moody-stuart-a-man-of-prayer/the-life-and-ministry-of-mr-m-j-micklewright-1.php〕 The current pastor, Greg Haslam, was previously the pastor of Winchester Family Church, a Newfrontiers church, and has introduced many of Newfrontiers' core values to the church. In addition to the activities of the chapel's own worshipping community, the chapel is well known as a host venue for many Christian conferences and assemblies including, in the past, as a venue for the "May Meetings" of the Congregational Union of England and Wales. 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「Westminster Chapel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
