Charles Richard Sumner (22 November 1790 – 15 August 1874) was a Church of England bishop. ==Life== Charles Richard Sumner was a brother of John Bird Sumner, Archbishop of Canterbury. Their father was Robert Sumner and their mother was Hannah Bird, a first cousin of William Wilberforce.〔Edward J. Davies, "Some Connections of the Birds of Warwickshire", ''The Genealogist'', 26 (2012):58–76.〕 Sumner was educated at Eton College and Trinity College, Cambridge and graduated BA in 1814 and MA in 1817. After ordination he ministered for the two winters of 1814–1816 to the English congregation in Geneva. From 1816 to 1821 he was curate of Highclere, Hampshire. In 1820, King George IV wished to appoint him as a canon of Windsor, but the prime minister, Lord Liverpool, objected; Sumner received instead a royal chaplaincy and librarianship. Other preferments quickly followed; in 1826 he was consecrated Bishop of Llandaff and in 1827 Bishop of Winchester. In 1869 he resigned his seat, but continued to live at the official residence in Farnham until his death on 15 August 1874. Though Evangelical in his views he did not confine his patronage to that school. He and his brother were members of the Canterbury Association from 27 March 1848. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charles Sumner (bishop)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
