MOBERLY, GEORGE (1803-1885), English divine, was born on th
e 10th of October 1803, and educated at Winchester and Ball
iol. After a distinguished academic career he became head m
aster of Winchester in 1835. This post he resigned in 1866
, and retired to Brightstone Rectory, Isle of Wight. Mr. Gl
adstone, however, in 1869 called him to be bishop of Salisb
ury, in which see he kept up the traditions of his predeces
sors, Bishops Hamilton and Denison, his chief addition bein
g the summoning of a diocesan synod. Though Moberly left Ox
ford at the beginning of the Oxford movement, he fell unde
r its influence: the more so that at Winchester he forme
d a most intimate friendship with Keble, spending several w
eeks every year at Otterbourne, the next parish to Hursley
. Moberly, however, retained his independence of thought, a
nd in 1872 he astonished his High Church friends by joinin
g in the movement for the disuse of the damnatory clauses i
n the Athanasian Creed. His chief contribution to theolog
y is his Bampton Lectures of 1868, on
The Administration of the Holy Spirit in the Body of Chrisl
. He died on the 6th of July 1885.
