Histórico
Second Bishop of Nova Scotia.
Robert Stanser was born in Harthill, England in 1760, and received an LL.B from Cambridge University in 1788. He was ordained deacon in 1783, then priest in 1784, and was curate of Bulwell, England from 1783 to 1787. In 1787, he worked for the Society for the Propogation of the Gospel in England and Wales, then in 1791, was appointed rector of St. Paul's in Halifax, Nova Scotia, a position he held for 25 years. During this time, he also served as Chaplain to the House of Assembly in Halifax, the Legislative Council, the Naval Hospital, and the H.M.S. Leander. He was popular among both Anglicans and Non-Anglicans, and was therefore the most popular choice for Bishop when Charles Inglis passed away. He was consecrated Bishop of Nova Scotia in 1816, but spent most of his episcopate in England due to ill health. He resigned the See in 1924, and died in Hampton, England in 1928.
