From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lewis Gordon (24 June 1747 – 29 June 1824) was a Scottish minister who served as Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland in 1815.

Gordon was born in Forres on 24 June 1747, the sixth son of William Gordon, merchant.[1] He trained as a minister at Marischal College, Aberdeen, graduating MA in 1765, was licensed by the Presbytery of Forres on 19 July 1768 and was ordained at Drainie on 28 September 1768.[1] He served as minister of the parish of Drainie near Lossiemouth on the north Scottish coast from 1768.[1][2] His parish included the (then) fishing village of Lossiemouth.[3] The church dated from 1666.[4]

He was elected Moderator in 1815 replacing David Ritchie and succeeded in 1816 by John Cook. At this time Gordon had been minister of Drainie for at least 45 years.[5] He was made a DD by King's College, Aberdeen on 17 May 1815, the day before his appointment as Moderator.[1]
