DELETION OF PICTURE This picture is incorrectly labeled as Robert Chambers and William Irvine, when it is actually Andy Robb instead of Irvine. A. Robb was an Irishman who spent most of his ministry in South Africa. He did bear a superficial resemblance to Irvine. It is easy to prove this is not Irvine simply because of the age difference; R. Chambers was much too young to appear in a picture with Irvine when Irvine was the age of the man shown in this picture. I knew R. Chambers personally in Texas, and have confirmed with South African friends that the other man is definitely A. Robb. There are many pictures available of Irvine that could be used on this website, but it serves no purpose to have a picture of someone else instead of Irvine!

Not sure why this isn't be discussed, but it seems like an obvious merge... after a quick glance at the articles, it appears we're talking about the same person in each. Stoneice02 07:08, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree - unfortunately I know next to nothing about Scottish Evangelism, so don't feel up to doing the merge myself. DuncanHill 10:54, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Needs to be merged carefully --Excalibur 10:32, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

OK, I did the merge. The articles actually had almost the same content (word for word).Lisamh 16:07, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Living Witness Doctrine

There should be something in here about the Living Witness Doctrine that William propagated that caused Edward Cooney to leave the emovement that William started.

[edit] Illigetimate son

William Irvine also had an illegitmate son that he supported while being a leader of the 2x2 movement. See reference to it in 'The Secret Sect' by Doug and Helen Parker.Trv6983 (talk) 01:43, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Challenge for sources

I'd like to see proper sources for some of the claims in this article. It should not be difficult for statements that are true. I'm trying to be helpful here. Rather than reference self-published web sites, build references to the original documents (journals, letters, articles). Where this is not possible, question whether the statement can be made at all. At some point I will try to reorganize the article around verified sources only.
