The conventional portrayal of George Augustus Selwyn, the first
Anglican bishop of New Zealand, focuses upon his significance as a
missionary bishop who pioneered synodical government in New Zealand
and acted as a mediator between settlers and Maori. George Augustus
Selwyn (1809-1878) focuses on Selwyn's theological formation, which
places him in the context of the world of traditional high
churchmanship, rather than the Oxford Movement narrowly conceived.
It argues that his distinctiveness lay in the way in which he was
able to transplant his vision of Anglicanism to the colonial
context. Making use of Selwyn's personal correspondence and papers,
as well as his unpublished sermons, the book analyses his
theological formation, his missionary policy, his role within the
formation of the colonial episcopate, his attitude to conciliar
authority and his impact upon the diocesan revival in England. The
study places Selwyn alongside other likeminded high churchmen who
shaped the framework for the transformation of Anglicanism from
State Church to worldwide communion in the nineteenth century.
