A. Nutter Thomas
Arthur Nutter Thomas (11 December 1869 – 10 April 1954), commonly referred to as Dr Nutter Thomas or A. Nutter Thomas, was the Anglican Bishop of Adelaide, South Australia, from 1906 to 1940.[1]
Early life
[edit | edit source]Nutter Thomas was born in Hackney, London, to Charles James Thomas and his wife Mary Matilda Thomas, née Nutter.[2] He was educated at Pembroke College of the University of Cambridge and was awarded a bachelor's degree in 1893, a master's degree in 1895 and a Doctor of Divinity degree in 1906.[3] He was made deacon on 20 May 1894, by Walsham How, Bishop of Wakefield, at Wakefield Cathedral;[4] ordained priest the following year;[5] and consecrated a bishop on Candlemas 1906 (2 February) at Westminster Abbey, by Randall Davidson, Archbishop of Canterbury.[6] He arrived in South Australia two months later with his wife. On retirement he had spent over 34 years as a bishop, the longest for an Anglican bishop in Australia at that time.[2]
Thomas's episcopacy as Bishop of Adelaide was contemporaneous with the 40-year incumbency at St George's Church, Goodwood of Canon Percy Wise, with whom he had a long and frosty relationship, Thomas being a traditional Anglican, a follower of the Book of Common Prayer, and Wise being radically Anglo-Catholic.
