James Harvey Symington (1913–1987) Neche, North Dakota, USA was a member of a little known Christian Church based in his town.
He became leader of the Exclusive Brethren in 1970, after the sudden death of James Taylor Junior, shortly after the Aberdeen incident, one of the most significant events in the Brethren's history.
Ron Fawkes, an ambitious leadership aspirant who attained some prominence among the Brethren, accused Symington of several false charges,[1] none of which were upheld on investigation[citation needed].
At his death he was blind from adult-onset diabetes and was buried in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
