John Macleod (theologian)

[1] Having begun divinity studies in the Free Church College, his opposition to the Declaratory Act passed by the Free Church of Scotland General Assembly in 1892 led to his continuing his studies in divinity at the Assembly's College, Belfast,[2] the Theological College of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, where he obtained first place in Ecclesiastical History and Biblical Criticism.

[5] In 1896 he was licensed to preach the Gospel by the Northern Presbytery of the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland.

[6] His first charge was Lochbroom, Ullapool,[7] in Ross and Cromarty (1897-1901),[8] where he met and married Margaret Macleod Matheson in April 1898.

[11] Towards the end of his time at Kames, he was sent as a church deputy to congregations in Canada and met the celebrated theologian B.
