Джозеф Кингхорн (1766–1832) был английским баптистом и пожизненным министром баптистской церкви Святой Марии в Норвиче .

Жизнь

Кингхорн родился в Гейтсхеде-он-Тайн , графство Дарем , 17 января 1766 года. Его отец, Дэвид Кингхорн (3 октября 1737–18 февраля 1822 года) был сапожником и баптистским проповедником в Ньюкасле-он-Тайн , который был рукоположен в 1 В мае 1771 года в качестве министра баптистской общины в Бертоне-Бишопе , Восточный езда в Йоркшире , где он оставался до июля 1799 года, когда он ушел в Норвич. Джозеф был его старшим сыном его второй женой Элизабет (ум. 25 января 1810 года, в возрасте 72 лет), второй дочери Джозефа Джоплинга из Сатли .

После четырехлетнего обучения Кингхорн был предпринят в качестве ученика для просмотра и часов в Халле в 1779 году, но в марте 1781 года стал клерком в работах белых лидов в Элсвике, Нортумберленд из Walker Fishwick & Co. 20 апреля 1783 года он был крещен его отцом в Бертоне-Бишопе и подумал о входе в министерство. Он познакомился с Робертом Холлом и думал о том, чтобы присоединиться к нему в Университете Абердина , но 20 августа 1784 года он поступил в Бристольскую баптистскую академию под руководством Калеба Эванса . В Бристоле Кингхорн установил дружбу с Джеймсом Хинтоном (1761–1823), Энтони Робинсоном (Унитарий) (1762–1827, его соседка по комнате) и Сэмюэль Пирс .

On leaving the academy, Kinghorn ministered for some months (from May 1788) at Fairford, Gloucestershire. He received an invitation to Norwich, because of a business connection between Richard Fishwick who worked at his old firm, and Thomas Hawkins, both Baptists, Hawkins belonging to the congregation at St. Mary's Chapel, Norwich. On 27 March 1789 he settled in Norwich, and was ordained on 20 May 1790.

Kinghorn was famed for his preaching, which was noticed by Edward Irving. On the liberal side in his politics, though a moderate, he did not bring them into his public discourses. William Wilkin Wilkin (1762–1799) of his congregation was a personal friend, as well as a radical. When Wilkin died in 1799, Kinghorn brought up and educated his son Simon Wilkin.

From 1790 Kinghorn was a member of the Norwich Speculative Society, entering the intellectual life of the city, of which William Taylor was the effective leader. He defended Christianity at the Tusculan School, another debating club, in 1794, where he was strongly opposed by Charles Marsh.

In 1804 Kinghorn was invited to become head of the Northern Baptist Academy, then being set up in Bradford, but he preferred pastoral work. His old chapel was replaced in 1811 by a new structure on the same site. In a controversy with Robert Hall, which began in 1816, Kinghorn took the side of close communion, requiring adult baptism a condition of participation in the Lord's Supper. He made mission journeys to Scotland in 1818 and 1822.

In later life Kinghorn devoted much time to Hebrew and rabbinical studies. He died unmarried on 1 September 1832, and was buried on 7 September in the vestibule of St. Mary's Chapel. Joseph John Gurney spoke at his funeral, where the sermon was preached by John Alexander, minister of Prince's Street congregational church.

A profile bust-length portrait of Joseph Kinghorn, in his late forties, is set to the left of the panel with the inscription. Image probably based on three-quarter portrait by A. Robertson, engraved by W. Bond used as frontispiece of M.H. Wilkin, Joseph Kinghorn, a Memoir, Norwich, 1855, by where he is shown in his mid to late twenties. Roundel signed: H.A. Miller 1930 (bottom left) . This plaque is found at Pottergate Street, Norwich.
