Biographical / Historical

The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts (SPG) was founded in 1701, largely on the initiative of Reverend Thomas Bray. He had visited the American colonies and believed that they were 'in very much Want of Instruction in the Christian Religion'. He was supported by the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of London and a charter was granted to the Society by King William III. It specified that the Archbishop of Canterbury would be its president. Between 1701 and 1783 the SPG sent 309 missionaries to America and supplied them with a great number of books, pamphlets and furnishings for their churches.

Following the loss of the American colonies, the Society went through a lean period of about thirty years. It was supported by a small number of bishops and priests and by a few hundred members. Its income was low and it faced competition from more evangelical bodies, such as the London Missionary Society (founded 1795) and the Church Missionary Society (founded 1799). Its missionary work was largely confined to Canada and the West Indies. Its revival began in the 1820s, under the leadership of Archdeacon Anthony Hamilton. The membership grew rapidly, and income from subscriptions and donations rose from £620 in 1818 to £16,082 in 1838. The SPG began issuing pamphlets and other publications, such as Quarterly Papers, it set up a board of examiners to approve the appointment of missionaries, and it administered parliamentary grants to churches in the colonies. Above all, it sent out missionaries to new colonies: India (1814), South Africa (1820), Australia (1834), New Zealand (1840), Borneo (1847), Hong Kong (1849), Sierra Leone (1851), Mauritius (1855) and Straits Settlements (1861). By 1901 it had 753 clergy serving in 101 dioceses in countries overseas.

In 1834 the SPG made its first grant to Archdeacon William Broughton in Sydney and in the next few years it began sending missionaries to the Australian colonies. It made endowments for new bishoprics, such as Adelaide, Melbourne, Newcastle and Tasmania, and provided annual grants to bishops to support clergy and to open up the remoter areas of their vast dioceses. Tasmania gave up its grants in 1859, Adelaide did the same in 1865, and by 1882 most of the other dioceses had followed suit. The exceptions were the remote, thinly populated dioceses: Riverina, North Queensland, Capricornia, North West Australia, Perth, Bunbury, Kalgoorlie and New Guinea. Their grants gradually came to an end in the twentieth century, with the diocese of Bunbury receiving the final grant in 1939.

The first SPG missionary arrived in New Zealand in 1840. In 1841 the Society agreed to give the new Bishop of New Zealand, George Selwyn, an annual grant for endowment, rather than paying the stipends of individual clergy. These grants, which totalled £7000 in the first ten years, were used to bring clergy and teachers to New Zealand also to purchase land as a permanent endowment of growing value. The Church Missionary Society was already well-established in New Zealand, but SPG stations soon spread from Auckland and Wellington to Nelson and New Plymouth. Five new dioceses were created between 1856 and 1869 and they all received continuous aid from the Society until 1880.

In the Pacific the SPG supported the early efforts of Bishop Selwyn to bring Christianity to the islands of Melanesia. In 1854 it raised £10,000 for the endowment of a bishopric and its annual grants to the diocese of Melanesia continued from 1861 until 1880. A missionary was sent to Pitcairn Island in 1850 and the SPG continued to support the Pitcairn Islanders after they were transferred to Norfolk Island in 1856. Although Hawaii was never a British colony, the Society in 1861 voted stipends for three missionaries to work in the new diocese of Hawaii. Financial assistance continued until 1900 when, following the annexation of Hawaii by the United States, the diocese was transferred to the Episcopalian Church. The first SPG missionary in Fiji arrived in 1870, but little was done until the creation of the diocese of Polynesia in 1908. By 1930 the Society was supporting the bishop and about six clergy in Fiji, and two years later it sent its first missionary to Samoa.

The establishment of the Borneo Mission in 1847, in response to an appeal by Sir James Brooke, was the responsibility of a committee headed by Reverend C.D. Brereton in which the SPG played a small part. The Society took over the responsibility in 1853. By 1864 there were eleven clergy in the diocese of Labuan and Sarawak, headed by Bishop Francis McDougall. In 1869 the diocese was extended to include the Straits Settlements and missionaries were appointed to serve the Chinese and Tamil communities, as well as British residents, in Singapore and the Malay Peninsula. In 1908 the diocese was divided into the diocese of Labuan and Sarawak and the diocese of Singapore. In both dioceses the SPG set up schools and medical missions, mainly staffed by women missionaries. Its support for the Church in Fiji, Borneo, Singapore and Malaya continued until the 1960s.

In 1965 the SPG merged with the Universities' Mission to Central Africa to form the United Society for the Propagation of the Gospel. Its current name is United Society Partners in the Gospel.

Series D MSS. Letters and papers received from abroad, 1850 - 1935

108 items

Despite the title of this series, many of the letters written to the secretaries and treasurers of the SPG were sent by individuals living in Britain. They included bishops, clergy, lay members and supporters of the SPG, government officials, and colonial bishops who were on leave in Britain or who had returned permanently to Britain. There are also letters from diocesan associations based in Britain, such as the Melanesian Mission and the Polynesian Diocesan Association. Nevertheless, the bulk of the letters, often accompanied by reports and other enclosures, were written by bishops, clergy, missionaries and lay people in British colonies and dominions and in a few other countries (such as the Netherlands, East Indies and Hawaii).

Series E MSS. Missionary Reports, 1852 - 1938

83 items

The reports were written by bishops and missionaries who received financial support from the SPG. They vary greatly in structure, content and frequency. Some missionaries sent reports every three or six months, others annually, and others very occasionally. Many of the reports took the form of letters, often extremely long and with attachments. Others were written on printed forms supplied by the SPG. Changes were made to the form over the years, but the missionaries were asked a range of questions: the geographical size and population of the mission, the number of Church members, the average number of attendees at services, the number of baptisms, the amount of offertory collections, the annual income of the missionary and the sources of the income, schools established by the mission, the involvement of the missionary in tuition, the location of churches and parsonages, and property acquired by the mission. Some missionaries completed the forms in great detail while others just responded to a few of the questions.

John Ramsden Wollaston (1791-1856) was ordained a priest in 1815. He arrived in Fremantle in 1841 and bought land at Picton, between Australind and Bunbury. He and his sons built a church on the land, which was consecrated in December 1842. In 1848 the Governor transferred him to the parish of St John's, Albany, where he remained for the rest of his life.

The formation of the Women's Mission Association was approved by the Standing Committee of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in 1860. Its primary focus was the Christian teaching of women and girls in overseas countries, by recruiting missionary teachers, supplying materials to schools, and providing funds for boarders. In 1897 medical work was added to its responsibilities. The Association's first missionary started work in Mauritius in 1867 and in the following decade its operations extended to India, South Africa, Madagascar and Japan.

In 1826 he became a teacher at the Maori Seminary at Parramatta which had been established by Samuel Marsden. In the same year he was appointed a trustee of the Church and School Society, chaired by Archdeacon Thomas Scott. Wilkinson was frustrated by the lack of progress in obtaining land for schools and in 1828 he took the matter up with Governor Darling and also the Ecclesiastical Board in London. His actions infuriated both Darling and Scott and he was banished to Newcastle. Wilkinson continued to be criticized by Scott and his successor Archdeacon William Broughton, who dismissed him in 1830. Wilkinson was later a minister at Ashfield and Balmain.
