[edit] Summary
English: Nathan Bangs, (
May 2,
1778 –
May 3,
1862) was an American
Christian theologian in the
Methodist tradition. Born in
Stratford, he received a limited education, taught school, and in 1799 went to
Upper Canada in search of work as either a teacher or a land-surveyor. He was converted to Methodism in 1800 and worked for eight years as an itinerant preacher in the wilderness of the Canadian provinces serving communities in the areas of Kingston, York, London, Niagara, and Montreal. Of particular note is that fact that he was responsible for organizing the first
camp meeting in Upper Canada in the fall of 1805. That same year he married Canadian Mary Bolton and, after a brief stint in Lower Canada, was transferred back to the United States to ride the Delaware circuit. In subsequent years he took a prominent part in the councils of the church.
