Huntingdon, Selina, Countess of
Huntingdon, Selina, Countess of (1707–91). Founder of the ‘Countess of Huntingdon's Connexion’, an association of Christian evangelicals. Desiring to reach the upper classes, she opened chapels where the Calvinistic preaching of her chaplains was combined with a liturgical form of worship. The Countess of Huntingdon's Connexion, formed in 1790, united her churches. In 1980, twenty-nine of these survived, with membership of 860.
