About the author
Born on June 19, 1853, Herbert Bury was an English Anglican bishop educated at Lincoln College, Oxford, and ordained in 1878. After serving in parish posts in London, Rossendale, and Hampstead, he was appointed Bishop of British Honduras in 1908.
From 1911 to 1926, he served as Bishop for Northern and Central Europe, a role that involved oversight of Anglican congregations spread across many countries. That unusually broad ministry helped shape both his public reputation and his writing, which often reflects travel, church work, and the realities of religious life far from England.
He died on January 15, 1933. Remembered as both a church leader and an author, he left behind books informed by direct experience, including work connected with Central America and the wider Anglican world.
