Maurice Scollard Baldwin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maurice Scollard Baldwin (21 June 1836 – 19 October 1904) was a Canadian Anglican Bishop from Toronto. Baldwin's parents were from influential families; he was the grandson of Æneas Shaw and the cousin of Robert Baldwin. He attended Upper Canada College and Trinity College, Toronto.
Noted for his evangelism and skillful oratory, he was elected Bishop of Huron in 1883, succeeding Isaac Hellmuth. He was less passionate about administrative matters than spiritual ones, but delegated such matters effectively. Under his leadership, the diocese adopted parliamentary rules for its synod, balanced its budget, and first broke off, then restored, its association with Western University of London, Ontario.
