(13)The Clergy Association - 1808-1831

Description

The meeting of a group of Manx clergyman in order 'to promote mutual improvement and edification, to cultivate brotherly love... and to encourage each other in the vigorous performance of their pastoral duties' was listed without reference in William Cubbon's Bibliography of the Literature of the Isle of Man. Led by notably active and devout members of the clergy, well known and respected for their evangelical views, Hugh Stowell, John Nelson, Joseph Qualtrough and Thomas Howard, the association was in operation from 1808 until 1831.
