Ritchie, David Lakie. (Kingsmuir, Scotland, September 15, 1864--December 14, 1951, Montreal, Quebec). Congregationalist/United Church. Studied at the University of Edinburgh, whose D.D. he received in 1917. Pastorates at Dunfermline (1890-1896) and Newcastle (1896-1903) in Britain; principal of Nottingham Theological Institute, 1903-1919; of Congregational College (Montreal), 1919-1925; and of United Theological College (1925-1939), with which his previous school merged when Canada's Congregationalists entered the church union of 1925. Although he published several works, he was best known in his own day as an effective trainer of ministers for a church in the throes of reorganization.
