Mathew Hale was Anglican Bishop of Brisbane from 1875 to 1885.
Hale was an Anglican Evangelical in a diocese that became Anglo-Catholic. His Evangelical tradition remained strong in St Andrew’s Church, South Brisbane. His previous work was with the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge in Western Australia, paying attention to Aboriginal mission work. In Brisbane, Hale expressed a sentimental evangelicalism, introducing a Clergy Widow and Orphan’s Fund to the diocese in 1877.
