History
National
Episcopal Historians and Archivists:
'The National Episcopal Historians and Archivists (NEHA) formally
the National Episcopal Historians Association, began in 1961 as
an outgrowth of the Church Historical Society. The founders felt
that an organization was needed that would promote archival and
historical information collection for congregations, dioceses,
and institutional archivists as well as historiographers and registrars'.
Notes
[of a] Visit to Norfolk Island, the Head Quarters of the Melanesian
Mission (1872).
This published account draws on the journal of William Garden Cowie
(1831-1902) then Bishop of Auckland. Cowie writes on conditions of
church life on Norfolk, and his ordination of three Melanesian Anglicans
to the diaconate; Cowie is distinguished in early Australasian church
history for having ordained some 25 Maori clergymen by the end of
the nineteenth century.
