New Bishoprics and Church Growth in Empire and Hongkong
The London Gazette lists Rupert's Land as a new Bishopric with Rev David Anderson named bishop. Victoria Hongkong diocese follows with Rev George Smith. The land spans 370000 square miles with about 103000 people. Bethnal Green sees rapid church expansion from 1839, laying the tenth foundation stone funded by private donors and a tea gathering. The Evangelical Alliance faces critique over creedal aims, while Independents plan to unite Homerton Highbury and Coward Colleges into a new site at St John’s Wood by autumn next year.
