The 2020 edition of the Reformed Theological Journal features an article by Stephen about William Symington’s views on the Christian ministry. The article is based on an address Stephen gave at the RP Ministers’ Conference in 2019, marking 200 years since Symington’s ordination in Stranraer. It draws particularly on ‘Charges’ Symington gave to both minister and congregation at the ordination of Stoneykirk man James M’Gill at Hightae, Dumfriesshire, in 1829, halfway through Symington’s 20-year ministry in Stranraer.
