David Pickering
David Pickering (1788-1859) was an American Universalist minister who held pastorates in Vermont, New Hampshire, and Hudson, New York, before his most prominent settlement in Providence, Rhode Island. There he founded and edited the Christian Telescope newspaper (1824-1829) and the Gospel Preacher (1827-1828), a monthly compilation of sermons by Universalist ministers. A leader of the denomination's Restorationist wing, he joined Paul Dean and Adin Ballou in the schism that created the short-lived Massachusetts Association of Universal Restorationists, and his later ministry took him to congregations in New York and Michigan.
