GOSSNER, JOHANNES EVANGELISTA (1773-1858)

This article appears in Volume V12, Page 269 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GOA-GRA
GOSSNER, JOHANNES EVANGELISTA (1773-1858) , German divine and philanthropist, was born at Hausen near Augsburg on the 14th of December 1773, and educated at the university of Dillingen. Here like Martin
Boos
  and others he came under the spell of the Evangelical
movement
  promoted by Johann Michael Sailer, the professor of
pastoral
  theology. After taking priest's orders,
Gossner
  held livings at Dirlewang (18041811) and
Munich
  (18111817), but his evangelical tendencies brought about his dismissal and in 1826 he formally left the Roman Catholic for the
Protestant
  communion. As minister of the Bethlehem church in Berlin (18291846) he was conspicuous not only for
practical
  and effective preaching, but for the
founding
  of schools, asylums and missionary agencies. He died on the loth of
March
  1858.
