Description
SECOND HAND BOOK
John Oliver Feetham (1873 – 1947), bishop, was born on 27 January 1873 at Penrose, Monmouthshire, England.
Frederick Campion, a fellow curate, came to Australia in 1902 and founded the Brotherhood of the Good Shepherd, based in Dubbo, New South Wales, in 1904. Feetham was interested in the work and followed him in 1907 as the second principal. Love of the Australian bush and its people and belief in the importance of the Brotherhood became distinctive marks of his episcopate in North Queensland.
Feetham was bishop of North Queensland from 1913 to 1947. His episcopate spanned crucial years in the development of North Queensland. His outstanding achievement was the foundation of schools. They were primarily ‘the bishop’s schools’, and he devoted tremendous effort to them, leaving a powerful imprint on them: All Souls and St Gabriel’s, Charters Towers, and St Anne’s, Townsville, are flourishing still, while St Mary’s, Herberton, closed in 1966. His aim was to bring up the children of North Queensland in the best Imperial and church traditions.
