William Garrett Lewis

William Garrett Lewis (1821–1885)[1] was a Baptist preacher and pastor of Westbourne Grove Church in Bayswater, London for 33 years.

He was an apologist author of two books, Westbourne Grove Sermons and The Trades and Industrial Occupations of the Bible, published by the Religious Tract Society.

Lewis was Taylor's pastor during the formative time of the China Inland Mission in 1865, and continued in support of the work, acting as a referee for the agency in 1872.

[2] Lewis was undoubtedly closely associated[citation needed] with the Anti-Opium Campaign led by another member of his congregation, Benjamin Broomhall, who sought to end British trade in the drug in China.

I feel constrained to address my brethren in the ministry also to hear the appeal which God in his providence makes to them, to be faithful, uncompromising, simple, and bold in their declaration of gospel truths.
