Henry George Nicholls (pastor)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Henry George Nicholls (c. 1852 – 30 July 1936) was a Congregationalist minister in England and South Australia and Presbyterian minister in Victoria, Australia.
Nicholls was born in England and received his theological training at Hackney College, London, under Rev. Samuel McCall. His first charge was the Congregationalist church at Dedham, Essex, where he served for fourteen years. He emigrated to South Australia where he served the Clayton Congregationalist Church from 1891 to 1903, then resigned and took over the pastorate of the Presbyterian Church in Canterbury, Victoria, where he gained a reputation as a progressive thinker and fearless teacher.[1]
He left the Canterbury church around 1918 without fanfare and retired to New South Wales, where he died at his home in the Sydney suburb of Vaucluse.
