The Rev. Edward Arthur Scott

The Rev. Edward Arthur Scott, Vicar of St. Saviour's, was born at Northampton, England, in 1850, and competed his education at Stratford-on-Avon. He came to New Zealand in 1876, and was ordained in that year by the late Bishop Harper. His first appointment was that of curate under Archdeacon Lingard, at St. Luke's, Christchurch. In two years he was translated to the incumbency of Kumara, where he remained from 1878 till 1883. He was appointed vicar of Ashburton, where he remained till he was appointed to take charge of his present parish in 1893. Mr. Scott issues a Parish Magazine, which has a circulation of about 450. He also holds fortnightly services in the Rhodes' Convalescent Home.
