Nicholas Timothy Clerk
About
Nicholas Timothy Clerk (28 October 1862 - †16 August 1961) was a Gold Coast-born theologian, clergyman and missionary of the Basel Evangelical Missionary Society who worked extensively in southeast colonial Ghana (Gold Coast). His father was the Jamaican Moravian missionary Alexander Worthy Clerk (1820 - †1906), who worked in the Gold Coast with the Basel Mission and founded The Salem School at Osu, a boarding middle school for boys in 1843. Clerk was elected the First Synod Clerk of the Presbyterian Church of the Gold Coast, a position he held from 1918 to 1932. A staunch advocate of secondary education, Nicholas Timothy Clerk, became the founding father of the all boys’ Presbyterian boarding school in Ghana, Presbyterian Boys' Secondary School, established in 1938. As Synod Clerk, he pushed vigorously for and turned the “original idea of a church mission high school" into reality.
