Mariano Di Gangi (23 July 1923 in Brooklyn – 18 March 2008 in Ottawa)[1][2][3] was a minister of the Presbyterian Church in Canada.
A native of Bushwick, Brooklyn, Di Gangi graduated from Brooklyn College in 1943 and earned a Bachelor of Theology from Philadelphia's Westminster Theological Seminary in 1946 and joined the Presbyterian Church in Canada, (serving as a Student Missionary at Cote St George, Quebec in 1943) following additional postgraduate courses at The Presbyterian College, Montreal.
[4] He was also a popular preacher, who preached at many special services, including Anniversaries, conferences (such as Urbana 84),[5] and at Evangelistic Meetings particularly in Canada, the US, and in Italy.
[6] Di Gangi authored many books dealing with the Christian faith, including A Golden Treasury of Puritan Devotion: Selections from the Writings of Thirteen Puritan Divines, Twelve Prophetic Voices, The Book of Joel: A Study Manual, and The Spirit of Christ.
A chapter in Tenth Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia: 175 Years of Thinking and Acting Biblically by Philip Ryken deals with Di Gangi's pastorate of that church, where he was preceded by Donald Grey Barnhouse and succeeded by James Montgomery Boice.
