James Carmichael (bishop)
James Carmichael (1838–1908) was the fourth Bishop of Montreal[1] for a short two-year spell at the start of the 20th century.[2] A prominent clergyman who participated fully in the direction the church took,[3] he was born in 1838 and educated at Bishop's University. His ecclesiastical career began with a curacy at Clinton, Ontario,[4] followed by stints at The Ascension Hamilton, Ontario, St George's Montreal, before he was appointed Dean of Montreal in 1883. In 1906 he became Co-adjutor to the elderly third Bishop of Montreal, William Bennett Bond, whom he eventually succeeded.[5] He died in 1908 in his 70th year, his obituary stating he was a "painstaking administrator rather than a brilliant leader".[6]
