Alexander Marshall (evangelist)

Alexander Marshall (13 December 1846 – 9 August 1928) was a Plymouth Brethren Evangelist from Scotland involved in much pioneering work, including Canada.

[1] In Stranraer he worked as a solicitor's clerk until the age of eighteen, then moved to Glasgow where he became a member of the Plymouth Brethren Church.

[1] His evangelist activities also took him to Egypt, Palestine Central America, Mexico and New Zealand.

[1] Initially, Marshall was connected with some of the early Needed Truth Brethren, but could not go on with them over disagreements regarding what is a legitimate breaking of bread meeting.

Marshall insisted that any gathering of two or three believers to break bread could be recognized as an assembly around the Lord's Table.
