Bray, Rev. Thomas

- bn - d. Christchurch 19 March 1900. Pastor. Churches: (U.K.) King�s Sutton; (N.Z.) Timaru 1881-82; Greendale 1882-86, 1895; Co-Pastor, Mt Eden 1887; Nelson 1889-95. President Union 1892. Bray suffered from ill health which at times interfered with his ministry. His Greendale ministry was the most fruitful and here he saw growth in the church. In 1892 when his health failed at Nelson he returned to Greendale to recover; and then again at the conclusion of his Nelson ministry. He was unable to continue in ministry, however, again due to ill health. He was known for his kindness to the needy and generosity to all. Ref.: Obituary: NZB April 1900, 58.
