Book Description
This is the biography of Edward Field, second Anglican Bishop in Newfoundland. Field was steadfast in strengthening the financial state and the numbers of clergy of the Church of England in Newfoundland, and was responsible for securing the financing to finish the Cathedral in St. John's as well as several schools and orphanages. Field was known for being uncompromising in matters of the church, yet equally warm and humorous, with a great affection for children while among friends.
