Murray, John (1741–1815)

English-born Universalist clergyman. Born in Alton, England, the son of strict Calvinist parents, he emigrated to the USA in 1770 and for two years was an itinerant evangelist preaching a decidedly non-Calvinist doctrine of universal salvation. Considered the founder of Universalism in the USA, he held pastorates in Gloucester, Massachusetts, and Boston.
