George Augustus Selwyn, Bishop of Lichfield, First Bishop of New Zealand

Almighty and everlasting God, we thank thee for thy  servant George Augustus Selwyn, whom thou didst call to preach The Gospel to the people of New Zealand: Raise up, we pray thee, in this and every land, heralds and evangelists of thy kingdom, that thy Church may make known the unsearchable riches of Christ, and may increase with the increase of God; through the same thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
