Arnold Wylde

Arnold Lomas Wylde (31 March 1880-6 June 1958[1]) was an English-born Anglican bishop in Australia where he served as the Anglican Bishop of Bathurst.[2]

Wylde was educated in England at Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, Wakefield[3] and University College, Oxford. He was ordained in 1907. His first post was as curate at St Simon Zelotes, Bethnal Green[4] after which he was Vicar of the parish until 1921. Emigrating to Australia, he was appointed to the Brotherhood of the Good Shepherd, a period he considered the happiest of his ministry.[5] From 1923 until 1928 he was principal of the order. Appointed a coadjutor bishop of Bathurst in 1927[6] he was appointed the diocesan bishop a decade later. In 1942 a parish within his diocese[7] brought an action against him for introducing The Red Book[8] a perceived heretical text into the diocese's liturgy. He was awarded a CBE in 1957, the year before his death.
