Biographical history
Third Bishop of Nova Scotia.
John Inglis was born in 1777 in New York, the son of Charles Inglis, first Bishop of Nova Scotia. He was educated in Windsor, Nova Scotia, and received a B.A. from the University of King's College there. He was ordained deacon in 1801, after spending some time in England searching for books on behalf of the King's College library. He was ordained priest in 1802, and was Rector of St. Mary's Church in Aylesford until 1816. He was the Commissary to the Bishop of Nova Scotia from 1802 to 1824, as well as Rector of St. Paul's, Halifax and Chaplain to the House of Assembly, Halifax from 1816 to 1825. He was consecrated Bishop of Nova Scotia in 1825, and was made a member of his Majesty's Council in the Province of Nova Scotia. During his time as Bishop, Inglis realized that his diocese was too large for one man to handle, and worked to divide it. He succeeded in dividing the diocese twice, once in 1839 to create the Diocese of Newfoundland and Bermuda, and once in 1845 to create the Diocese of Fredericton. He passed away in 1850.
