About This Item
The Baptist minister from the Isle of Man, Hugh Stowell Brown (1823-1886) was highly regarded as a preacher. Born in Douglas, the capital of the Isle of Man, the Manxman first passed through Liverpool on his way to work as a civil engineer on the Ordnance Survey. Covering the morning and evening services at Liverpool's Myrtle Baptist Church during a vacancy, he impressed the congregation which asked him so stay. Finding that the poor often did not attend his services as they had no "Sunday best" clothing, Brown offered Sunday afternoon services represented as a series of "lectures for the working men of Liverpool" in a public hall, drawing up to three thousand people. His reputation growing, Brown traveled and preached throughout Britain, the U.S. and Canada. He founded a Workman's Bank for the poor and a society to help the widows of seafarers. He grew the church and provided impetus for the building of local Baptist churches in the communities where his congregation lived. Brown became the president of the Baptist Union in 1878.
