About This Book

The memoir traces the spiritual formation, pastoral labors, and administrative career of a Church of England cleric who served for decades in India, recounting early struggles with faith, ordination, and missionary work at multiple stations. It follows voyages between England and India, parish and educational initiatives, interactions with fellow bishops and civil authorities, debates over reform and native education, efforts in church building and ordinations, and extensive pastoral visitations across provinces. Personal bereavement and the long delay before consecration give way to eventual service as a bishop in Madras, with concluding reflections on his final years and ecclesiastical responsibilities.
