About

"Brenton Thoburn Badley (1876-1949), Bishop and Missionary, was born in United Provinces, India on May 29, 1876, the son of Brenton Hamline Badley. In 1900, after completing his course studies, he traveled as a Methodist missionary to India, where he worked as a professor at Lucknow for ten years. Badley then served as Secretary of the Epworth League for India and Burma, as well as Associate Secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church from 1917-1919. The Central Conference of Southern Asia elected him editor of its weekly publication "The Indian Witness" in January of 1924. Before serving in that capacity he went to the General Conference in Springfield, Massachusetts, where in May of 1924 he was elected bishop. He supervised the Bombay, Gujarat, Hyderabad, and South India Annual Conferences as his first assignment. Later, he was moved to Delhi, and spent four years supervising the Delhi, North India and Indus River Conferences, the latter of which was eventually put into the Bombay Annual Conference. He authored many articles in America and India, and wrote twelve books before his death at Mirzapore, India, on February 1, 1949."
