William P. Merrill, (1867-1954) was acknowledged during his time as one of the most influential ministers in America. In 1911, Merrill became a pastor of the Brick Presbyterian Church in New York City, attended by the Carnegie family. His 1914 sermon titled "The Making of Peace" was hailed by Andrew Carnegie as one of the greatest sermons on peace that he had ever heard. In 1914 Merrill became the first president of Carnegie's Church Peace Union, currently known as Carnegie Council on Ethics and International Affairs.
