Frederick Brotherton Meyer (8 April 1847 – 28 March 1929) was one of the most significant Baptist ministers of his day and was referred to in his obituary In the Daily Telegraph as “The Archbishop of the Free Churches”. A contemporary of C.H. Spurgeon he became a good friend of D.L. Moody and arranged Moody & Sankey’s preaching tour of England. “Moody never forgot that Meyer was the first minister heartily to welcome him to England, and Meyer never forgot that he learnt from Moody the art of winning men and women to Christ.” [W.Y. Fullerton, F.B. Meyer: A Biography, pp.31-32.] Meyer is also remembered for his role and an international evangelist, as well as for his involvement with the Higher Life Movement of the Keswick Convention and in the beginnings of the Welsh Revival.
