Article by Peter Bolt outlining the details of Thomas Moore's bequest to the Church of England, and the attempts made by Bishop W.G. Broughton (1788-1853) to establish a theological college in Sydney.

"While we propose to make it a school for imparting sound theological instruction we hope to impart also that practical training in the habits of a Minister of the gospel what is so essential to his usefulness. For no man ought to be considered fit to be admitted to the work of a Pastor of souls without these qualifications." Address given by Acting Principal William Macquarie Cowper.

Marcus Brownrigg (1835-1890) was one of the first three students at Moore College. He served as Rector of St John's Church, Launceston, and ministered to people on the islands of Bass Strait.
