{"id":1369,"count":2,"description":"Richard De Courcy (1743-1803) was an Anglican sovereign grace preacher and hymn-writer. His gospel labours grew after meeting George Whitefield and receiving an invitation from Lady Huntingdon to fill the pulpits in her chapels. He attracted large crowds, often provoking the Arminians by his forceful proclamations of sovereign grace, incurring their slur and slander. In 1774, he was appointed Vicar of St. Alkmond's, Shrewsbury, a position he held until his death twenty-nine years later.   \r\n","link":"https:\/\/www.baptists.net\/history\/category\/richard-de-courcy\/","name":"Richard De Courcy","slug":"richard-de-courcy","taxonomy":"category","parent":0,"meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.baptists.net\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/1369","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.baptists.net\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.baptists.net\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/category"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.baptists.net\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?categories=1369"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
