The Rt. Rev. Herbert Spaugh, a distinguished Moravian bishop, author, musician, and newspaper columnist, was the pastor of The Little Church on the Lane in Charlotte, NC for many years.
Spaugh was consecrated as a bishop in 1959. Starting in 1933, he wrote a newspaper column titled Everyday Counselor for newspapers in Charlotte and Winston-Salem; the column was later syndicated in thirty newspapers across the South. He authored three books: Pathway to Contentment (1946), Everyday Counsel for Everyday Living (1951), and Pathway to a Happy Marriage (1953).
Bishop Spaugh helped to organize the first Alcoholics Anonymous group in North Carolina, and was actively involved with the North Carolina Council of Churches, the National Conference of Christians and Jews, the North Carolina State School Board Association, and the American Guild of Organists.
