It was in 1908 that Ernest Davies, the association’s first supported student, completed his training at St. Augustine College, Canterbury, and set off to serve in the mission field in Dogura, Papua New Guinea. Since its foundation in 1904 the aim of RMSA has been to provide grants for Readers, or their equivalent, to train for ordained ministry in the Anglican Church overseas. The first students were principally Readers from Great Britain who would serve the Church in distant lands, but very soon students were being trained in colleges overseas. Today we invariably make grants to Reader ordinands in less affluent lands. Because of the poverty of many overseas dioceses our grants often provide the life-line to ordination training and are key in the provision of much needed priests. September 2009 saw the inauguration of the Diocese of Newala, Tanzania; RMSA is now actively supporting the training of ordinands to support the growth of the new diocese.
