Gaylord Starin White (March 3, 1864 – November 25, 1931) was an American social reformer and activist who was prominent in the settlement movement.
[1] His first post as pastor was at City Park Chapel, 209 Concord Street, in the working-class Navy Yard section of Brooklyn, New York—starting in 1893.
[1] The Chapel was associated with the First Presbyterian Church (Brooklyn), under the leadership of Charles Cuthbert Hall (later the president of Union Theological Seminary).
Providing "opportunities for physical, intellectual and moral culture", its mission bore clear similarities to the burgeoning Settlement approach.
[9] After eight years at the City Park branch, White followed Hall back to Union Theological Seminary (UTS) and became its director of field work in 1901.
