Introduction

Robert Sandeman

The Sandemanian Church (or Glasite Church in Scotland) was a small denomination, based on the teachings of John Glas and Robert Sandeman in Scotland from 1730 with a congregation in London beginning to meet in about 1760. Of interest to genealogy was the fact that there were a small number of families who dominated the church for a number of generations. Even those individuals who did not become members (did not make a personal profession of faith) may still attend the weekly services and would be related to other church families, as many are likely to marry within the various communities.

The London church included notables such as Michael Faraday. The church has now died out.
