William Huntington S.S. (2 February 1745 – 1 July 1813) was an English preacher and coalheaver.[1] He is said to have preached that "moral law" is unnecessary, a theological view known as Antinomianism.[2] Huntington was a strict Calvinist who believed some were predestined to be saved and some were not.[3] He was also convinced that he would be identified as a true prophet on Judgement Day.[3] His unusual, polemical style of preaching and writing made him popular but brought conflicts with other preachers throughout his life.[4] He founded or opened chapels throughout England, many of which survive including Bethlehem Chapel, Richmond upon Thames.[4]
