摘要
The Reverend John Murray (1742-1793) occupies a curious footnote in the history of the Presbyterian Church. A remarkable speaker, Murray nonetheless tested the borders of clerical morality. Questions about Murray's credentials prompted his dismissal from Ireland's Ulster Synod. In the British North American colonies, Murray forged a new career, attracted converts, and sponsored a revival while still facing questions about his alleged past transgressions. Murray illustrates how geographic mobility and sermonic skill enabled maverick clerics to overcome professional penalties in the evolving polity of the Presbyterian Church in the fledgling United States.
