Arthur Nutter Thomas (11 December 1869 – 10 April 1954), commonly referred to as Dr Nutter Thomas or A. Nutter Thomas, was the
Anglican Bishop of Adelaide, South Australia, from 1906 to 1940.[1]
Thomas's episcopacy as Bishop of Adelaide was contemporaneous with the 40-year incumbency at St George's Church,
Goodwood of Canon

Book of Common Prayer, and Wise being radically
Anglo-Catholic.
