Background
History
The Episcopal congregation in Aberdeen that became St John's Church began when the Kirk of St Nicholas ejected Rev Dr George Garden in 1693 for refusing to conform to the Presbyterian Establishment. After a spell in exile, he returned to Aberdeen by 1720 and gathered around him the remnants of his flock. Over the next 130 years, the congregation met in several houses and a larger building in Golden Square, dedicated to St John the Evangelist. Andrew Gerard who served as the Bishop of Aberdeen from 1746 to 1767. was curate at St John's from 1728, then incumbent from 1733 to 1767. Roger Aitken was minister at St John's, 1782–1814, before serving in Canada.
