CALL TO THE CLERGY At Nelson, Fred Bennett first attended the Bishopdale School which was conducted by the Bishop, and later attended Nelson College, applying himself diligently to his studies, and also excelling at sport, particularly swimming and rugby. When Bishop Suter died in 1891, Fred Bennett went to Wanganui where he worked as a lay evangelist. There he was very happy to renew his acquaintance with his beloved mother tongue. In 1896 he returned to Nelson to be ordained deacon, and was priested the following year.
From Nelson he moved to Taranaki and later, to his old home at Rotorua where he spent many happy years. From Rotorua he moved to Hawkes Bay where he supervised the Maori Mission work.
