- Biographical Sketch
- The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts (SPG) started in 1701. It functioned as the missionary society of the Church of England, even though formally it was chartered as an independent organization. Its purpose was to provide clergy to minister to British people overseas; and to evangelize the non-Christian races of the world.
- The SPG started supporting missionaries in Newfoundland in 1703 and Nova Scotia in 1728. The SPG either sent or supported missionaries right across Canada by the 1850s helping to establish the Church of England in Canada and to evangelize the indigenous people. They also established a national education system to train people for the ministry instead of sending them to England.
