The Rt Rev Herbert Tugwell, DD was a Colonial Anglican Bishop in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Tugwell was born in Salisbury, educated at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge and ordained in 1881.〔(Mundus )〕〔''Ordinations Chichester'' The Times Wednesday, Dec 21, 1881; pg. 10; Issue 30383; col B〕 He was Curate of St Mary, Petworth〔"The Clergy List, Clerical Guide and Ecclesiastical Directory" London, Hamilton & Co 1889〕 and then a Church Mission Society (CMS) missionary in Lagos.〔(Missionary Archives on Africa )〕 In 1894 Tugwell was elevated to the Episcopate as Bishop of Western Equatorial Africa.〔(Diocese of Lagos )〕 The CMS decided to create two assistant bishops to help with the workload of the large diocese and to assuage African opinion. James Johnson, although the most prominent clergyman in the colony, was considered unsafe. Instead the more conservative Charles Phillips of Ondo was appointed, along with Isaac Oluwole, a former principal of the CMS Grammar School, Lagos. When the Western Equatorial Africa diocese was split in 1919, Tugwell became the inaugural Bishop on the Niger. He died on 22 July 1936.〔''Obituary Bishop Tugwell'' The Times Thursday, Jul 23, 1936; pg. 16; Issue 47434; col F〕 In 1939, a church in the Anglican Diocese of Lagos was named after him. The church, Bishop Tugwell Memorial Anglican Church (BTM for short), is reputed to be the oldest Igbo Anglican church in the whole of Lagos. BTM Anglican Church will be marking its 75th anniversary with a church service on 19 October, 2014. ==Notes== 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「Herbert Tugwell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
