William Dalrymple Maclagan (18 June 1826 – 19 September 1910) was Archbishop of York from 1891 to 1908, when he resigned his office, and was succeeded in 1909 by Cosmo Gordon Lang, later Archbishop of Canterbury.〔(York Minster | Lists of Archbishops ) at www.yorkminster.org〕 As Archbishop of York, Maclagan crowned Queen Alexandra in 1902. Maclagan, the fifth son of a distinguished Scottish physician David Maclagan FRSE (1785–1865)〔http://www.bompa.co.uk/Maclagans/b177.htm#P14〕 was born in Edinburgh in 1826, and educated at the Royal High School.〔(Northallan Service 3 ) at www.royalhigh.co.uk〕 His elder brother was the surgeon and scholar Douglas Maclagan. He served five years in the Indian Army rising to the rank of lieutenant and resigning on grounds of ill health. In 1852, he enrolled at Peterhouse, Cambridge, where he received a degree in mathematics four years later. He was immediately ordained a Deacon, and served in the Church of England thereafter. In 1869, he was Rector at Newington, and in 1875, he was Vicar of St Mary's Abbots, Kensington; both parishes being in London. During this period, he composed several hymns. On 24 June 1878, he became Bishop of Lichfield, in the same year that he made a prestigious second marriage. ==Archbishop of York (1891–1908)== In 1891 (possibly 28 July 1891), he was translated Archbishop of York, which position he held for the next seventeen years. He was appointed to the Privy Council after the accession of King Edward VII 24 January 1901.〔(Gazette Website: PDF Navigator ) at www.londongazette.co.uk〕 He made a private visit to Russia in 1897〔(The Church of England during the Second World War by Dianne Kirby ) at www.history.ac.uk〕 and〔(ZWT May 1897 ) at webcache.googleusercontent.com〕 in the same year, he tried to create two new bishoprics, one in Sheffield. To do this, the Archbishop was prepared to surrender two thousand pounds of his considerable income – one thousand pounds for each new diocese, but the project still came to naught. Maclagan complained that from 1891, he had been more Bishop than Archbishop owing to the large population and territory of the diocese. In 1906, he revived the idea, specifically naming Sheffield and Hull as the preferred seats for the new dioceses. By the end of his tenure, there were still only nine dioceses in the province.〔http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~exy1/fh_material/Making_of_Sheffield/8-BISH.TXT〕 Sheffield did not get its own Bishop until 1914. Maclagan was apparently a strong High Churchman, but his private beliefs had to be subsumed often. In 1899, he sat assessor with his ecclesiastical superior Dr. Frederick Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury (d. 1902), when the decision was given against the use of incense and other ritualistic practices, and was obliged loyally to uphold the primate's opinion. Maclagan resigned his office in 1908, possibly on grounds of ill health. Archbishop Maclagan died in London on 19 September 1910, and was survived by his second wife Augusta (1826–1915). 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「William Maclagan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
