“Doug Storkey is a very sound theologian, a brilliant orator, a wide reader, who is well steeped
in good literature, and the possessor of a sense of humour which he knows how to use with
penetrating effect in all his preaching” (Rev Dr. H Ryburn)
“He also influenced a wide community of readers throughout Otago and Southland through his
weekly religious articles in the Evening Star, and an even larger audience through his regular
broadcasts. He had a genius for relating to people from a huge variety of backgrounds. He also
had a glorious sense of humour which helped. He had a great ability to draw on his own experience
and to never patronise people. (He) also had an interest in broadcasting. As well as convening the
Presb. Church Broadcasting Committee, he spoke out on apartheid. He sparked off the
anti-apartheid campaign with a sermon at Kent Terrace in Wellington. A tremendous orator,
whose sermons (at Lindisfarne College) inspired many a student. A caring and compassionate
man who was always available for wise and considered counsel. Doug’s warmth and genuine
concern has influenced the life of many.
Doug Storkey was too honest a thinker to divorce himself from the modern trends of thought
in the theological world, but convinced by what he always regarded as the basic truths of
scripture, and influenced by the brilliant theologians of his day, as a theologian he remained to
the end what might be termed a balanced and wholesome traditionalist, and as a preacher of the
Gospel he consistently presented his message as a warm-hearted evangelist.” (From Obit.)

STUART, Rev. Dr. Donald McNaughton                   D.D. (St Andrews)
b 5 February 1819  Styx  Perthshire  Scotland
w Jessie nee Robertson b (?)  m 1850  d 1862
He was educated at St Andrews University; with others he purchased the 'Edinburgh Witness' newspaper.
The Senate expelled him for campaigning (in his paper) for the election of a Rector  in opposition to the
Senate candidate; he was later restored as a student by a Royal Commission. In 1837 he began an
adventure school at Leven, Fifeshire.  It began with one pupil, and in 2½ years the school had 70 pupils. He then
began  his theological studies at New College in Edinburgh.  In 1844 he became a class teacher at a
school near Windsor; and in a short time became Principal.   While there he continued his theological
studies privately under three leading theological scholars in London; he completed his theological
studies with a final year in Edinburgh
Licensed by the Free Church Presbytery of Kelso in 1848 then called to Falstone, Northumberlandshire.
Ordained by the English Presbyterian Church at at Newcastle on Tyne in 1849, remained there 10 years.
In 1858 a second congregation was established in Dunedin (Knox Church) New Zealand and they appointed
a commission of three Churchmen in the UK to select a man for them; it so happened that one of the three
had been his tutor in London and knew him well; Stuart's was the name they recommended as Minister for
Knox.  
On 27 January 1860 he, along with wife and family, arrived in Dunedin on the 'Bosworth'. Rev Thomas Burns at First
Church generously left his pulpit for seven weeks while he made a trip South to assess the need for further
charges in Southland, leaving his pulpit to Stuart to allow him time to become known to all who wished to
join the new congregation at Knox Church.
Inducted Knox Church, Dunedin Presbytery, 16 May 1860
Stuart was keenly interested in education, and a strong advocate for the Theological Hall to be established.
In its first year he was Tutor in Curch History.  In 1875 he was a member of the Board to recommend reforms
to the High Schools in Dunedin;  2 years later he was on the Board of both Boys & Girls High School; he
was an original member of the Otago University Council; in 1871,74, 77 was Vice-Chancellor of Otago
University, and Chancellor from 1879 untill his death; he was a member of the NZ University Senate 1873-81;
Editor of the "Evangelist" 1874-78; in 1872 St Andrews University conferred on him the honorary degree of DD.
“He stood in every pulpit (Presbyterian) from Waitaki to the Bluff, and there are reminiscences of some
homely word kindly spoken, or some timely service ungrudgingly rendered in every congregation.  His name
is still a household word throughout the land, linked by bridal or baptismal or funeral  to many a fireside.
Memories of some little oddity in manner, or quaintness in speech, or outburst of emotion, are still fondly
cherished. His plaided form seemed always to remind one of the breezy hillsides, the swaying pinewoods,
the bee-haunted heather of his native land.  His sunny face, his cheery manner, his forceful talk, bore with
them a kind of inspiration.' (Rev J. Chisholm)
Died 16.5.1894  in office.

the value of pastoral visiting. He had a great love of preaching and enjoyed working with the
scriptures of the Old Teastament. He had been trained to project his voice and shunned the
use of microphones. His strong voice with an Iirish lilt was very compelling. He was not afraid
to do some straight-talking when the need arose, and was able to get alongside people from
all walks of life and of different deniminations. He and his wide Edith worked as a team,
frequently undertaking pastoral visiting together. He was committed to his calling and his
ministry bore much fruit."

Ecumenical Institute in Bossey, Switzerland.
In these later years [at Masterton] Charles returned to the farm, in that he and Jean had enough land in
a quiet spot to keep a sheep or two, a few hens, some well grown trees and a productive vegetable garden.
From within that rather arcadian setting Charles continued to be a wise, often shrewd, but always kindly
mentor to younger ministers who needed a little help along the way.
He trusted in this old prayer : "Save us, Oh Lord, waking, Guard us sleeping, That awake we may Watch with Christ And asleep, rest in peace."

w Jane Phillips Borrie b 3.1.1852   m 29.4.1884   d 4.3.1934
After being educated at the local Parish School he apprenticed himself as a pupil Teacher,
completing his term with credit to himself. Then entered the Free Church Training College
at Edinburgh where he successfully completed the course of study to pass as a Teacher,
and obtained the Privy Council’s certificate for same. Chosen from a number  of applicants
as assistant in Watson’s Institution, Edinburgh, and during the time he filled this position he
attended classes atb Edinburgh University, obtaining the degree of Master of Arts.
Being felt called to the Ministry, he then entered New College Edinburgh.
Licensed in Scotland 1873.
Came to New Zealand with his elder brother (who was advised to come to New Zealand for
health reasons but unfortunately died shortly after arrival) on the “Treveleyan”
Arrived at Port Chalmers in March 1874.
Called and Ordained to North Taieri DnP Sept 1874
He quickly got to know his congregation and an absence from Church ensured a speedy visit
from the Minister enquiring of their health. His training as a Teacher assisted him greatly in
Bible studies with the younger folk where he emphasized thorough and systematic Religious
and Secular reading and learning.
Rev Sutherland also regularly supplied at Mosgiel which at first included many other
denominations including Baptists, Wesleyans and Episcopalians.
After his marriage in 1884, he returned to Scotland for a visit, returning home to NZ at the end
of that year with his only remaining Brother.
Due to the increasing size of Mosgiel Parish, it was disjoined from North Taieri. Rev Sutherland
subsequently carried on at North Taieri with increased attention and sympathy to his remaining
Parishioners.  
“He was impulsive, and at times impetuous, especially when exposing wrong, or supporting a
righteous though weakly cause. Even those who differed from him, or resented his warmth of
expression, must always have seen how purely unselfish his aims were. Mr Sutherland had the
true Highland conservative spirit, and paid great attention to leaders in theology and other
departments of knowledge. While liberal towards other opinions, he yet upheld firmly those of
men whom he regarded as guides in wisdom, and of experience, being truly a devoted and loyal
follower. He kept himself well abreast of the thought and speculations of the times, being a
careful reader of the best literature, periodical and other. He had much to contend against in
preaching in a troublesome and painful affection which compelled him to speak too slowly to
give his excellent matter due effect. His manner was dignified and curteous….  Mr Sutherland
was a strong supporter of the Taieri Amateur Horticultural Society, and was for a time its
President. (From Obit.)
