According to Wikipedia, Isaac Richards was educated at Exeter College, Oxford and ordained in 1882. He was curate of St Paul's Truro then vicar of St Mark’s Remuera. In 1895 he became Warden of Selwyn College, Otago. Later he was Archdeacon of Invercargill, a post he held for 11 years before being appointed Bishop of Dunedin from 1920 to 1934. He was also a cricketer, playing first class matches for Auckland in the 1890s. He died in 1936 in his 78th year. At Synod this year we will be thinking about how we can celebrate the 150th birthday of our Diocese.

  • Clergy in the Diocese of Dunedin 1852-1919 a Biographical Directory of Anglican Clergy Who Served in Otago and Southland Compiled by Michael Blain (2003) 2
    Clergy in the Diocese of Dunedin 1852-1919 a biographical directory of Anglican clergy who served in Otago and Southland Compiled by Michael Blain First edition 2003 Copyright the Reverend Dr. Michael Blain, 2003 Reproduced online with permission at http://anglicanhistory.org Address inquiries to [email protected] Clergy in the Diocese of Dunedin 1852-1919 A biographical directory of Anglican clergy who served in Otago and Southland Compiled by Michael Blain (2003) 2 Introduction This biographical directory features all the Anglican priests who served in the southern regions of the South Island of New Zealand between 1852 and 1919. 1852 marks the licensing of John Fenton the first Anglican priest with pastoral responsibilities in the new town of Dunedin. 1919 marks the retirement of the first bishop of Dunedin, Samuel Tarratt Nevill. Between these two dates some 200 clergy came and went from Otago and Southland, the region served now by the Anglican diocese of Dunedin. All of them here receive attentive research. They prove to be a fascinating group of people, whose backgrounds, careers, and connections offer a unique insight into colonial Otago. George Augustus Selwyn, the bishop of New Zealand (from his appointment on 10 October 1841 to his resignation in May 1869) was the epitome of a missionary—going everywhere fast, staying nowhere long in his efforts to reach everyone in every place. He met the leading colonists and church members in Dunedin in 1848, but had no priest to offer them until after the two dozen ships and chaplains of the Canterbury Association had arrived two years later in Canterbury.

If you have any articles for inclusion in the next edition, forward these to [email protected] by 9 am 25 August 2020. We appreciate any news and photos you have to pass on. Continuing Worship and Praise Among the Faith Communities who nimbly adjusted back to Alert Level 2 last weekend was the Southern Coastal Deanery, who had a combined service to celebrate the patronal festival of St Mary at St Mary’s Church, Mornington. The service was led by the Ven Jan Clark, with Rev’d John Graveston delivering the sermon. A planned celebratory lunch has been delayed, but the congregation took the move back to Level 2 in its stride: keeping well spaced out, using sanitiser and making sure everyone’s details were noted for contact tracing. Jan has been working on a variety of home-made face masks which were modelled for the congregation. The parish are gearing up to make more (including some creative versions) for different ages and face types. John Graveston spoke at the service about Mary - her faith and willingness to take on one of the most important roles of history - and the ways she has continued to inspire women and men in the Mornington Church to live sacrificial lives of service since 1883. One of the few quotes John used from St Mary's centennial history book in his sermon was the following: Out with the Sermon: The following proposal was put to the Church Committee in early 1886, but withdrawn after considerable discussion.
