Historia
Fifth Bishop of Nova Scotia.
Frederick Courtney was born in Plymouth, England, in 1837. He was ordained deacon in 1864, and priest in 1865, and was the curate of Hadlow, England during this time. He then became incumbent of Charles Chapel in Plymouth, a position he held from 1865 to 1870, when he became the incumbent of St. Jude's in Glasgow, Scotland, until 1876. He moved to the United States at this point, and became an assistant at St. Thomas' Church in New York, from 1876 to 1880. In 1880, he became the rector of St. James' Church in Chicago, Illinois, then the rector of St. Paul's Church in Boston, Massachusetts in 1882, where he stayed until 1888, when he was consecrated Bishop of Nova Scotia in Halifax, Nova Scotia. He resigned in 1903, and became the rector of St. James' Church in New York again, until 1916, when he held the title of Rector Emiratus until he passed away in 1918.
He held various honourary degrees, including an S.T.D. (1881) from Racine College, Wisconsin; a D.C.L. (1889) from University of Trinity College, Toronto; and a D.D. (1893) and D.C.L. (1895) from the University of Bishop's College in Lennoxville, Quebec.
