Lorenzo Moore (cleric)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lorenzo Moore (1 September 1808 – 13 August 1894) was a notable New Zealand Anglican clergyman.
He was born in Blessington, County Wicklow, Ireland on 1 September 1808, a younger son of George Moore.[1]
Moore was involved in a public dispute with the Bishop of Dunedin, Samuel Nevill; Moore was accused of holding Free Church services, though he rejected this label and claimed to be remedying what he termed 'ritualistic abuses'. [2]
Moore's daughter Mary Elizabeth married John Eldon Gorst, in Geelong in 1860.[3]
