Wale Hicks

John Wale Hicks FRCP was an Anglican bishop,[1] educationalist and author in the second half of the nineteenth century.[2] He was identified with the Anglo-Catholic tradition of Anglicanism.

Life

He was born in 1840 and studied at the University of London[3] and at St Thomas's Hospital[4] before entering Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge in 1866.[5] Ordained in 1871,[6] his first post was a curacy at Little St Mary’s, Cambridge. A multi-disciplinary scientist, he was elected a fellow of Sidney Sussex College in 1874,[7] where he published "books on both doctrine and inorganic chemistry".[8] He was later elected Dean of Sidney Sussex and in 1892 chosen to succeed George Wyndham Knight-Bruce as Bishop of Bloemfontein,[9][10] a post he held until his death on 12 October 1899.[11][12] There is a memorial window to him in Clawton parish church.[13]

gollark: ```Cold Ones (also ice giants, the Finality, Lords of the Last Waste)Mythological beings who dwell at the end of time, during the final blackness of the universe, the last surviving remnants of the war of all-against-all over the universe’s final stocks of extropy, long after the passing of baryonic matter and the death throes of the most ancient black holes. Savage, autocannibalistic beings, stretching their remaining existence across aeons-long slowthoughts powered by the rare quantum fluctuations of the nothingness, these wretched dead gods know nothing but despair, hunger, and envy for those past entities which dwelled in eras rich in energy differentials, information, and ordered states, and would – if they could – feast on any unwary enough to fall into their clutches.Stories of the Cold Ones are, of course, not to be interpreted literally: they are a philosophical and theological metaphor for the pessimal end-state of the universe, to wit, the final triumph of entropy in both a physical and a spiritual sense. Nonetheless, this metaphor has been adopted by both the Flamic church and the archai themselves to describe the potential future which it is their intention to avert.The Cold Ones have also found a place in popular culture, depicted as supreme villains: perhaps best seen in the Ghosts of the Dark Spiral expansion for Mythic Stars, a virtuality game from Nebula 12 ArGaming, ICC, and the Void Cascading InVid series, produced by Dexlyn Vithinios (Sundogs of Delphys, ICC).```
