Dr. Peter Marshall

DR. PETER MARSHALL (1902-1949), 57th Chaplain of the United States Senate, was the inspirational Scots American who rose to become one of the most widely acclaimed twentieth-century ministers as pastor of New York Avenue Presbyterian Church in Washington (Lincoln's church). Here, his winsome personality and compelling sermons reached their greatest power and widest audience through the Second World War. Dr. Marshall's luminous personal story is recounted in Catherine Marshall's best-selling biography and the film "A Man Called Peter."
