35. Richard Cameron - Lion of the Covenant

The rule of Charles II (1660 - 1685) also extended to Scotland, where the Presbyterian church and state were exposed to horrific abuses, and the king fully disregarded the agreements he had made with the Scottish people when they acknowledged him as their monarch. His imposition of the Clarendon Code forced faithful followers of the Scottish Reformation into an underground church, meeting in conventicles, and during this 'killing time,' as it came to be called, hundreds if not thousands of Christian people were imprisoned, tortured, and executed in unimaginable and ghastly ways. The man who rose to galvanize the Scottish resistance came to be known as 'The Lion of the Covenant,' Richard Cameron, and sparked by his leadereship and courage, the repudiation of tyranny finally culminated in the Glorious Revolution of 1688. Along the way, however, many very remarkable stories of courage and faith unfolded, including the famous 'Solway Martyrs,' Margaret MacLoughlan and Margaret Wilson, whose accounts are also included in this presentation.

Richard, didn't the reformer's confidence come true in the great missionary advancements of the 19th and early 20th centuries?

[@claytonbenignus4688]

I submit that the Seven Ecumenical Church Councils[ First Council of Nicaea (325) First Council of Constantinople (381) First Council of Ephesus (431) Council of Chalcedon (451) Second Council of Constantinople (553) Third Council of Constantinople (680-681) Second Council of Nicaea (787) ] were the precursors to the presbyterial form of government as it evolved in Scotland.

[@evacameron8670]

What was Richard’s brothers name? His Wife?

My g g grandfather Sgt. Charles Fleetwood also had a brother named Miles Fleetwood. Sgt Charles Fleetwood 1808-1864 was a member of the Dragoons at Fort Gibson! The qualifications of becoming a dragoon was to know how to read and write and come from a respected heritage! Google, Sgt.
