Lloyd-Jones, Martyn
(born December 20, 1899 – died March 1, 1981)

Lloyd-Jones was born in Cardiff and raised in Llangeitho, Ceredigion. His father was a grocer, and he had two brothers: Harold died during the 1918 flu pandemic, while Vincent went on to become a High Court judge. Lloyd-Jones obtained an MD from London University, and became a Member of the Royal College of Physicians.
After struggling for two years over what he sensed was a calling to preach, in 1927 Lloyd-Jones returned to Wales, having married Bethan Phillips (with whom he later had two children, Elizabeth and Ann), accepting an invitation to minister at a church in Aberavon.
Lloyd-Jones provoked a major dispute in 1966 when, he called on all clergy of evangelical conviction to leave denominations that contained both liberal and evangelical congregations. Lloyd-Jones had hoped to encourage those Christians who held evangelical beliefs to withdraw from any churches where alternative views were present.
