John Robert Walmsley Stott, rector emeritus, All Souls Langham Place, served here for over forty years. The New York Times famously ran a piece on his life back in 2004 and said, "If evangelicals could elect a pope, Stott is the person they would likely choose." A prolific author, Stott has penned more than fifty books, one in which he controversially breaks with his evangelical brethren and questions the traditional understanding of hell. In 2008 he published The Anglican Evangelical Doctrine of Infant Baptism, which I'm told is the twenty-first century equivalent of J.C. Ryle's nineteenth century opus.
