- William_Gibson_Sloan abstract "William Gibson Sloan (4 September 1838, Dalry, North Ayrshire, Scotland – 4 September 1914, Tórshavn, Faroe Islands), was a Plymouth Brethren evangelist to the Faroe Islands and Shetland. His parents were Nathanael and Elisabeth Sloane (Sloan) who lived in Bridgend, Dalry. William became a missionary, sent by the Tract Society of Scotland, to Shetland and Orkney. While in Shetland, Catholic born Sloan came into contact with local Plymouth Brethren and issues like "believers baptism" and the "breaking of bread" came up. Sloan converted and became "baptised by immersion into the water" and thence "broke bread" with the local Shetland Baptists, even though he never considered himself being a Baptist. He believed in the one Congregation of God. It was in this belief that he, in 1865 decided to become an evangelist to the Faroe Islands, which he had heard of from Shetland fishermen, who earned their living by fishing in the vicinity of the Faroe Islands.For many years, his work in Faroe had little effect, but eventually a few people started gathering in "Ebenezer Hall" also known as "Sloan's Hall" which was built in Tórshavn in 1879 As the number of congregants was increasing, a new and bigger "Ebenezer" was built in 1905. The congregation eventually grew into the biggest independent congregation in the islands, second only to the established church.William Sloan died on his 76th birthday, 4 September 1914 in his home in Tórshavn, Faroe Islands.Approximately 12% of the population in the Faroe Islands now belong to the local Brethren Congregation by Mr. Sloan or "Old Sloan" as he is referred to in the Faroe Islands.".
