Origins
The Chapel's own website summarises the origins:
"In 1840 the area where Westminster Chapel now stands was relatively undeveloped. Since that time the area has improved considerably and historic attractions such as Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey bring millions of tourists to the area each year."
Prior to the arrival of Greg Haslam in 2002, Westminster Chapel had four particularly well-known pastors: the Rev'd Samuel Martin (1842–1878), Dr G. Campbell Morgan (1904–1917 and 1933–1943), Dr D Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1939–1968) and Dr RT Kendall (1977–2002).

Famous quotes containing the word origins:
“Lucretius
Sings his great theory of natural origins and of wise conduct; Plato
smiling carves dreams, bright cells
Of incorruptible wax to hive the Greek honey.”
—Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)
“Grown onto every inch of plate, except
Where the hinges let it move, were living things,
Barnacles, mussels, water weeds—and one
Blue bit of polished glass, glued there by time:
The origins of art.”
—Howard Moss (b. 1922)
“The settlement of America had its origins in the unsettlement of Europe. America came into existence when the European was already so distant from the ancient ideas and ways of his birthplace that the whole span of the Atlantic did not widen the gulf.”
