The famous author who 'experimented' with the structure of a Glasgow church.
In 1815 he became minister of Glasgow's Tron Church, and from 1819 to 1823 he was minister of St John's Parish Church, east of Glasgow Cross. A crowded area of the city, it was blighted by extreme poverty and social deprivation.
The situation in Glasgow was more complicated. There were a number of parishes in Glasgow, and they organised among themselves as the General Session. In 1731 the General Session turned to the town for help in dealing with the poor.responded by building the Town’s Hospital, which opened in 1733, on Great Clyde Street. Its purpose was to help make the poor fund go further, to assist the poor but also to deter people for applying for relief.
A growing tension between the General Session and the hospital provided the opportunity, with the latter refusing all further financial aid to the session. He started experimenting with the organisational structure of the parish, work that continued after September 1819 when he became minister of the church and parish of St John, also in Glasgow.
