History
Maurice Scollard Baldwin was born on June 21, 1836, in Toronto, Ontario.
He was a Canadian Anglican Bishop from Toronto, Upper Canada. He was ordained a Deacon in 1860 and Priest in 1861. In 1865, he moved to Montreal as the Incumbent of St. Luke's Church, and in 1870, he became assistant Rector of Christ Church Anglican Cathedral in Montreal. On the death of the Rev. Dean Bethune in 1871, he was appointed to succeed him as Rector, and in 1879, he was made Dean of Montreal. Noted for his evangelism and skillful oratory, he was elected the third Bishop of Huron in 1883. Under his leadership, the diocese adopted parliamentary rules for its synod, balanced its budget, and first broke off, then restored, its association with Western University of London, Ontario. He was the author of two books, "A Break in the Ocean Cable" (1877) and "Life in a Look”(1879).
He died on October 19, 1904, in London, Ontario.
